Ingredients
For the Fruit Salsa

- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. lime zest
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
For the Fish
- 1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
- Mix together the fruit salsa ingredients. Set aside.
- Mix together chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle on both sides of the fish fillets.
- Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the fish. Fry the fish for 2-3 minutes per side, until opaque and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining fish.
- Use a fork to break the fish up into small pieces and divide it among 8 tortillas. Divide the broccoli slaw, fruit salsa, and plain Greek yogurt evenly among the 8 tacos. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes
- To store leftover Baja Fish Tacos, keep the fish, salsa, and toppings separate in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The fish will stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheating is easy—simply warm the fish in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.
- It's best not to freeze this recipe, as the texture of the fish and salsa can be affected. Assemble the tacos just before serving for the best taste and texture.
