Instructions
- Heat oven to 450°F. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place the cranberries (or cherries), brown sugar, garlic, jalapeno, chipotle chili, lime zest and juice, honey, rosemary and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix everything together until the cranberries are thoroughly coated. Place in the oven and roast until the cranberries burst and release their juices, about 15 minutes.

- Chop cilantro, , slice limes, crumble Cotija cheese, finely slice cabbage and set in individual bowls. Zest half of orange into the Mexican Crema and set aside.
- Grill mahi mahi for 2 minutes per side. Remove from grill and allow to rest a minute or two. Cut each filet into 3 pieces.
- Warm wheat tortillas on your grill. Make fish tacos by layering cabbage, grilled mahi mahi, orange Crema, cilantro, cranberry mango salsa and Cotija cheese crumbled on top. Makes 6 total.

Notes
- I also substitute halibut filets if mahi mahi is unavailable.
- I often times substitute cherries (fresh pitted or frozen) for the cranberries.
