1

Start by making the mango salsa: Dice an Aroma tomato and a ripe mango.

4

Set the mango salsa aside.

5

Season the cod fish with Blackstone blackening seasoning and paprika, rubbing it into both sides.

6

Prepare the griddle by adding avocado oil and laying down parchment paper on top.

7

Smooth out the avocado oil under the parchment paper and then add more avocado oil on top.

8

Place the seasoned cod fish directly onto the parchment paper on the griddle.

9

Cook the fish on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes on each side until crispy.

10

While the fish is cooking, warm about six corn tortillas on the griddle, optionally crisping them up.

11

Build the tacos by spreading some guacamole on the tortilla, followed by a homemade sour cream sauce.

12

Add the cooked fish, breaking it up slightly to fit on the tortilla.
