Ingredients
1½ lbs (675 g) Mahi Mahi fillets, 4 pieces (about 2-inch thick)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
8–10 small white corn or flour tortillas
For the Sauce:
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp lime juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
½ tsp kosher salt
For the Slaw:
8 oz slaw mix
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small jalapeño, deseeded and finely chopped
1 avocado, peeled and diced
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp lime juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the Mahi Mahi fillets evenly and let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce by whisking sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, chipotle pepper, and salt until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator.
- For the slaw, mix slaw mix, cilantro, jalapeño, avocado, mayonnaise, garlic, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss well, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the Mahi Mahi fillets for 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Let rest for a few minutes, then flake into chunks.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until soft and slightly charred.
- Assemble the tacos by layering grilled fish, slaw, and chipotle sauce in each tortilla. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
Add grilled bell peppers or corn for extra flavor and texture.
Use lettuce wraps for a lighter, low-carb option.
Swap the chipotle sauce for avocado crema or mango salsa for a fresh twist.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier sauce.
To make it spicier, add more chipotle or a dash of hot sauce.
