These gluten-free trout tacos soften the heat with a sweet mango pico de gallo. Short on time? Buy prepared Pico de Gallo and add one finely diced mango and a couple tablespoons of diced cucumber.
Don’t have a thermometer on your grill? No worries, your bare hand is a good gauge for temperature (adults only, please). This works for gas or charcoal grills. Hold your hand a few inches above the grate and time how long you can safely keep your hand there.
