Instructions

Tortillas: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until completely combined. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
Next, make golf ball sized dough balls and press them using a tortilla press.
Cook the tortillas in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until they become lightly browned around the edges. Keep warm. Note: you will have some leftover.
Salsa: Combine the mangos, red onions, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper in a bowl and keep cool.
Fish: In a bowl mix together all of the herbs and spices and coat the fish on both sides with it.
Sear the fish on a hot griddle or large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat until it is browned on both sides and cooked through out, about 10 minutes.
To Plate: Place some fish into a warmed tortilla and top off with sliced cabbages, mango salsa and queso fresco.
