Ingredients

▸ Ingredients (12)
  • 2 mahi-mahi fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps

  1. 1 Toss cabbage with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside to lightly pickle — this is your slaw.
  2. 2 Thaw and pat mahi dry. Mix paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt; rub all over both sides.
  3. 3 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear mahi 3–4 min per side until blackened and flaking. Break into chunks with a fork.
  4. 4 Warm tortillas over a flame or in a dry pan, a few seconds per side.
  5. 5 Build each taco: mahi chunks, slaw, avocado, cilantro. Squeeze extra lime over the top.
