Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold water until a smooth batter forms.

  2. 2

    Fry the Mahi Mahi

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip the Mahi Mahi fillets into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Chipotle Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and chipotle sauce to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pineapple Salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet. Place a piece of fried Mahi Mahi on each tortilla, top with shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, a drizzle of chipotle mayo, and a spoonful of pineapple salsa.
