  • To make the cream: combine garlic, chipotle chilies, adobo sauce, juice from 1 lemon and cumin powder in a food processor. Blend to form a smooth paste. Add yogurt and pulse until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • For the salsa, combine mango, scallions, cilantro, orange juice and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir well. Just before serving, gently fold in avocado.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine cumin, chili powder and salt and pepper. Brush fish with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and coat with spice mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Lightly brush grill pan or cast iron skillet with remaining olive oil and heat over high flame. Cook fish, turning once, 3 minutes per side for medium rare (or 4 1/2 minutes per side for medium). Remove from heat and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  • To assemble tostadas, arrange shredded lettuce and cubes of fish over tostada on a plate. Top with 3 generous tablespoons of salsa and spoon cream liberally over the salsa. Serve with lemon wedge.
