- 2Thinly slice the cabbage and carrots, dice the mango, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro and green onions. Toss the cabbage, carrots, mango, cilantro, and half the green onions together in a large bowl until combined.
- 3Pat the tilapia fillets dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 4Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1–2 minutes. Add the tilapia and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until opaque and flaking easily with a fork. Transfer to a plate and flake into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- 5Warm the flour tortillas in the skillet over medium heat for 30–45 seconds per side until pliable, working in batches if needed.
- 6Assemble the tacos by filling each warm tortilla with flaked fish, a few avocado slices, and a generous spoonful of the cabbage-mango slaw. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and top with remaining green onions.
- 7Divide the assembled tacos evenly among 4 plates and serve immediately.
