serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

1 pound fresh or frozen swordfish, halibut, or mahi mahi steaks, cut 1-inch thick
1/2 cup margarita drink mix (no alcohol)
1 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
1 can (15 ounce size) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large mango, seeded, peeled and chopped
1 large chopped seeded tomato
3 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder* or regular chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cooking oil
8 flour or corn tortillas (6-inch size)
2 cups shredded fresh leaf lettuce or spinach

directions

Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into 3/4-inch strips.

For marinade, in a shallow dish, stir together margarita mix and jerk seasoning. Add fish strips, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, turning fish once or twice.

Meanwhile, for salsa, in a large bowl stir together the beans, mango, tomato, cilantro, green onion, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, ancho chili powder and salt. Set aside.

Drain fish, discarding marinade. In a 10-inch skillet, cook fish in hot oil over medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily with tested with a fork, turning fish occasionally.

Meanwhile, heat tortillas according to package directions. Fill tortillas with lettuce, fish strips, and mango salsa. Serve immediately.

* Ancho chili powder is made from ground ancho chilies (dried poblanos). It has a darker color and spicier flavor than regular chili powder. Find it with the spices in your supermarket.

Make-ahead directions: The salsa can be made ahead and chilled for up to 2 hours. If chilled, it should be allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and so it doesn't chill the fish when you add it to the tacos.
