Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 large Carrot, shredded
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 large Butter lettuce leaves
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Pico de gallo
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, juice of one lime, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the coleslaw by combining cabbage, shredded carrot, red onion, and cilantro in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, juice of the remaining lime, and salt. Pour this dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the Mahi Mahi fillets on the grill.
Grill each side of the fish for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and gently break it into large chunks.
To assemble the tacos, take a large butter lettuce leaf as the base, add a few pieces of grilled Mahi Mahi, a generous spoonful of coleslaw, some avocado slices, and a sprinkle of pico de gallo.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Mahi Mahi Tacos!
