Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 ounces each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup (finely shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 whole (sliced) Avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 whole (chopped) Scallions
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice of half the lime, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on a plate and generously brush them with the prepared spice mixture.
Grill or pan-sear the Mahi Mahi fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until slightly charred, then wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream or Greek yogurt with the juice of the remaining half lime and the sriracha sauce.
To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of the cooked Mahi Mahi on each warm tortilla.
Top each taco with a small handful of shredded red cabbage, slices of avocado, and a drizzle of the spicy lime crema.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and scallions for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
