Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 Hass avocado, mashed
  • Apple-Cucumber Salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the lime juice. In another small bowl, combine the chipotle powder with the orange zest and sugar.

  4. Gently break each piece of salmon in half. Spread the mashed avocado on the warm tortillas and top with the salmon, Apple-Cucumber Salsa and the cabbage. Drizzle each taco with the lime mayonnaise and serve right away.
