Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Mahi mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 4 wedges Lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour marinade over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado, halving the cherry tomatoes, dicing the red onion, and chopping the cilantro.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, place the mahi mahi fillets on the grill pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cooked mahi mahi from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes before flaking into large chunks.
To assemble the tacos, hold a romaine lettuce leaf in your hand and layer with chunks of mahi mahi, slices of avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of each taco and serve with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing.
Repeat the process for each lettuce leaf until all ingredients are used.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light and refreshing low carb mahi mahi tacos.
