Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fish:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the spice mixture over both sides of the fish fillets.
2. Bake the Fish:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the fish for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and easily flaked with a fork.
3. Make the Mango-Pineapple Slaw:
- In a large bowl, combine the julienned mango, diced pineapple, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
- Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and toss until everything is well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Warm the Tortillas:
- While the fish is baking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until softened and lightly browned.
5. Assemble the Tacos:
- Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble each taco, place a few pieces of fish onto a warm tortilla.
- Top with a generous spoonful of the mango-pineapple slaw.
- Add any optional toppings you desire, such as avocado slices or chopped cilantro.
