MANGO-LIME SHREDDED CHICKEN TACOS
I put a little spin on a family favorite. While this chicken filling is simmering I fry my corn tortillas until they are nice and crispy! If you like sweet and spicy together, this is a great dinner idea! Fill shells with chicken, lettuce, tomato, fresh cilantro, and your choice of hot sauce. Enjoy!

Steps:

- Heat canola oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, Anaheim pepper, jalapeno pepper, and garlic until slightly softened and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add shredded chicken, chicken stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce, mango, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, sugar, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken filling is reduced, at least 45 minutes.

GRILLED FISH TACOS
Instead of deep-frying the fish for these fish tacos, we coat the fish with a flavor-packed chile rub and grill it instead. Make sure the fillets are no more than 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick so they cook quickly. Sometimes flipping fish on the grill can be tricky since the fish can stick to the grill or fall apart. The solution is to invest in a grill basket that easily holds 4 to 6 fish fillets and secures the fish in the basket for easy flipping. If you don't have a grilling basket, make sure the grill is hot and well oiled before adding the fish.

Steps:
- To prepare fish: Combine chili powder, lime juice, oil, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub adobo rub all over fish. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes for the fish to absorb the flavor.
- To prepare coleslaw: Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix until smooth and creamy. Add cabbage and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Oil the grill rack (see Tip) or use a grilling basket. Grill the fish until it is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a platter and separate into large chunks.
- Serve the tacos family-style by passing the fish, tortillas, coleslaw and taco garnishes separately.

BLACK BEAN MANGO SALSA
I love this salsa! It makes for a perfect summer appetizer. I particularly like that it has black beans for extra protein. When served over grilled chicken, it is even better.

Tips:
- Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) to ensure it is safe to eat.
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh cilantro, lime, and mango will give the tacos the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mango, you can use canned mango instead.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the ingredients to your liking. If you like things spicy, you can add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to the chicken marinade. If you're not a fan of black beans, you can leave them out of the salsa or substitute another type of bean, such as pinto beans or kidney beans.
- Serve the tacos immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the tortillas are crispy and the chicken is hot and juicy.
