Cumin-Spiced Fish tacos with Avocado-Mango Salsa Preparation

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add cumin seeds, cook 2 minutes or until toasted, shaking pan frequently.

Place cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, and black pepper in a spice grinder;  process until finely ground.

Combine cumin mixture and garlic;  rub over fish.

Return the skillet to medium-high heat.

Add oil to pan; swirl to coat.

Add fish;  cook 2 minutes on each side or until done.

Remove from heat;  keep warm.

Combine remaining 1/ 4 teaspoon salt, avocado, and next 6 ingredients (through 1/4 teaspoon red pepper).

Stir in jalapeño, if desired.

Heat tortillas according to package directions.

Break fish into pieces;  divide evenly among tortillas.

Top each with 2 tablespoons salsa.

Fold tortillas in half;  serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer a stronger taste, apply rub earlier. Good with four tortillas also. Probably good with shrimp.

Son and DIL say this is really good and their 4 year old loves it too--without the jalapeño though. Serves 3 with sides. Coleslaw and black beans or rice would be good with this. They cheat and just use ground cumin.
