Fish Tacos with Strawberry Mango Salsa

These fish tacos make a fresh and delicious lunch or dinner. They are nutritionally balanced because they are high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants. The tacos are also adaptable because you can use any fish or meat that you prefer and make the salsa out of ripe fruits you may have on hand. Serve with an avocado tomato salad for a summer-inspired complete meal.
