Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1 cup mandarin orange segments, cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons taco seasoning, divided
  • 3 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate, divided
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seed and ribs removed, finely chopped
  • 1 to 1 1/2 lbs firm white fish, such as halibut, tilapia or cod, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
  • shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the pineapple, mandarin oranges, 2 teaspoons of the taco seasoning, 1 tablespoon of the orange juice concentrate, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and the jalapeño pepper. Mix to combine, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375F. Place the fish in an ungreased 2 quart baking dish.
