Wash and dry all produce. Peel @mango{1%piece}, then remove flesh from pit; discard pit. Cut into thin slices, then cut slices into skinny matchsticks. Halve @lime{1%piece}.

Place mango, @shredded red cabbage{1%cup}, and a squeeze of lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then set aside.

Set aside ½ tsp @southwest spice blend{1%tbsp} in a #small bowl{}. Season @tilapia fillets{2%pieces} all over with salt, pepper, and remaining Southwest spice. Sprinkle with a drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp}. Rub seasonings into fish until moistened.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add tilapia and cook until opaque and flaky, ~{3%minutes} per side.

Meanwhile, add @sour cream{½%cup} and a pinch of @chipotle powder{½%tsp} to bowl with reserved Southwest seasoning. Season with salt, pepper, and more chipotle powder (to taste). Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture is a drizzly consistency.

Wrap @flour tortillas{6%pieces} in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warm, ~{30%seconds}. Break up tilapia into bite-sized pieces and divide between tortillas. Top with slaw (you may not use all). Tear @cilantro{1%bunch} leaves from stems and scatter over. Drizzle with crema. Serve with any remaining slaw on the side.
