Fish

Tortillas

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Mahi Mahi

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Mahi Mahi

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before flaking into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the Cabbage Slaw

  1. 3

    Mix the Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Build the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. On each tortilla, layer some of the grilled Mahi Mahi and top with the cabbage slaw. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
