Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lime, juice and zest
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small Whole-wheat tortillas
- 1 large Avocado, diced
- 1 quarter cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 whole Lime, juice
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, the juice and zest of 1 lime, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Cut the Mahi Mahi fillets into equal portions for even grilling and place them in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the Mahi Mahi, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
While the fish marinates, prepare the avocado salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced avocado, chopped red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño, diced tomato, the juice of 1 lime, and vegetable broth. Stir gently to mix, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly grease the grill with a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray.
Grill the marinated Mahi Mahi fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Warm the whole-wheat tortillas on the grill, approximately 30 seconds on each side, or until they are lightly charred and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of grilled Mahi Mahi in each tortilla, then topping with a generous spoonful of avocado salsa.
Serve the tacos immediately, and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
