Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Remoulade

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and salt. Set aside in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Season the Mahi-Mahi

    In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Rub the spice mixture over the Mahi-Mahi fillets.

  3. 3

    Fry the Mahi-Mahi

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned Mahi-Mahi fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and break into large pieces.

  4. 4

    Warm the tortillas

    In another skillet, warm corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the tacos

    On each warm tortilla, place a generous amount of shredded red cabbage, pieces of crispy Mahi-Mahi, a few slices of avocado, and drizzle with chipotle remoulade.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with extra remoulade on the side.
