Vegan Fish Tacos Made with Healthy Homemade Tortillas and Mango Salsa

Scott made this yummy dish for our Sunday dinner.  Everything was freshly prepared and even the tortillas were made from scratch.  Replacing the white flour with a mix of whole wheat and rice flours, makes for a healthier tortilla. Scott made the tortillas quite small, about 5 inches, which made for more of an appetizer-sized taco.  They can easily be made bigger though, simply by creating bigger dough balls and spreading them out to a larger size.  It all depends on your personal preference.
