Mango Fish Tacos

I love this dish! Even if you don't like fish it is super yummy and doesn't have a fishy taste to it at all. It is really easy to make and if you get the frozen individual wrapped tilapia at Costco you never have to touch the fish. Sorry I don't have a pretty picture. Nice job on the Pics Marisa, it makes me hungry just looking at them.

Ingredients
Salsa:
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled mango
1 cup finely chopped red bell pepper and orange
1/3 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut, toasted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Fish:
1 pound tilapia fillets or other firm white fish
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Remaining ingredients:
8 (6-inch) tortillas
2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
8 teaspoons reduced-fat sour cream
8 lime wedges

Preparation
To prepare salsa, combine the first 8 ingredients; let stand 30 minutes.
To prepare fish, place fish in a shallow dish; drizzle with 2 tablespoons juice. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning fish occasionally.

Remove fish from marinade, discarding marinade; pat fish dry with paper towels. Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Dredge fish in panko, gently pressing to adhere. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Cut fish into chunks.
Heat tortillas according to package directions. Divide fish evenly among tortillas. Top each with 1/4 cup cabbage, 1/3 cup salsa, 1 teaspoon sour cream, and 1 lime wedge. Serve immediately.
