Steps:
- Bring coconut milk to boil and add dry rice. Reduce to simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Then add the coconut oil and pineapple juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Thoroughly dry fish filets by pressing them in between two paper towels.
- Rub the fish with seasoning generously on both sides.
- Over medium heat, add coconut oil to your pan to start simmering. Carefully place your fish fillets into the hot oil. Cover and cook for five minutes before flipping.You will know your fish is ready to flip because it will easily come onto your spatula without sticking to the pan. Once flipped, cover again and cook for another five minutes until you achieve a nice, browned color on both sides.
- Remove from pan and set aside for taco assembly.
- Prep your ingredients by slicing the avocado, prepping pineapple salsa, cutting lime, warming black beans, cooking fish, and grating cotija.
- Heat your tortillas in a dry pan or by microwaving between two damp paper towels for about 15 seconds. Add rice to your taco first, and then pile on fish, beans, avocado, and pineapple salsa. Drizzle with Crema, sprinkle on Cotija and finish with fresh lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and serve warm!
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.

EASY FISH TACOS WITH MANGO-PINEAPPLE SLAW
I used to make these all the time in California and they are so easy and fresh! You can also omit the mayonnaise and increase the red vinegar to reduce calories. All in all, these are a great main dish for any time of year! We usually serve them with fat-free refried beans topped with cilantro and goat cheese, or a cold corn salad with chopped bell pepper and onion.

FISH TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA
These Fish Tacos with Pineapple Salsa have a deliciously crispy crumb on the outside and big chunks of white fish on the inside. A little bit spicy from the combination of different herbs used to coat the fish, a little bit tangy from the pineapple, chilli, tomato and lime, and a whole lot of summer together in a lightly grilled soft mini taco.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish. For fish tacos, it is best to use a firm, white fish that will hold up well to grilling or frying. Some good options include tilapia, cod, halibut, and mahi-mahi.
- Season the fish well. Before cooking the fish, be sure to season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the fish properly. The fish should be cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking the fish will make it tough and dry.
- Make a flavorful salsa. The salsa is an important part of fish tacos, so be sure to make it flavorful and fresh. A good option is to use a combination of pineapple, mango, red onion, and cilantro.
- Assemble the tacos. To assemble the tacos, start by placing a tortilla on a plate. Then, add the cooked fish, salsa, cabbage, and any other desired toppings. Fold the tortilla in half and enjoy!
