1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the Mahi Mahi fillets.
3. Lightly drizzle the Mahi Mahi fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside while the grill heats.
4. To make the red cabbage slaw, combine shredded red cabbage, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
5. Prepare the tomato avocado salsa by dicing the tomatoes and avocado. Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (remove seeds if less heat is preferred). Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Add the juice of one lime and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
6. Grill the Mahi Mahi fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Flake the fish into bite-sized pieces using a fork.
7. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for 20-30 seconds per side, or until pliable.
8. Assemble the tacos by layering a spoonful of red cabbage slaw on each tortilla, followed by the grilled Mahi Mahi pieces, and topped with tomato avocado salsa.
9. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
