Amazing Mahi Mahi Tacos
Report
These Mahi Mahi Tacos are now a staple in our house. So flavorful and easy to make. You can grill them, sear them, or bake them. The avocado-lime slaw is sublime. And the chipotle-aioli gives a wonderful kick. Incredible flavor!!

Instructions
MAKE THE AVOCADO-LIME SLAW
- In a food processor, add the mayo, avocado, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, jalapenos, salt and pepper and pulse until completely blended.
- Add the mayo-avocado mixture to the slaw and stir until fully coated. Set aside.
MAKE THE CHIPOTLE AIOLI
- Stir together the mayo, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
PREPARE THE MAHI MAHI
- Make the marinade by mixing together in a medium bowl the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion and garlic powders, salt, pepper, lime juice, and olive oil.
- Add the mahi mahi and turn to coat. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat your grill to high heat.
- Place fish in a grill pan or cast iron skillet. Or, thread each fish piece with a skewer. Discard the left-over marinade.
- Grill the fish, carefully turning once, until opaque and just cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
- Heat the tortillas directly on the grill rack, or place in aluminum foil, and heat on the grill.
- Place the cooked fish in the warmed tortilla and top with slaw, fresh cilantro, radishes, chipotle aioli, sliced jalapenos, and hot sauce.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of chili powder. We like chipotle chili powder, but this will definitely add some heat. If you're looking for low to no spicy heat, then use regular chili powder.
- If you can't find mahi-mahi, you can use quality tuna steak, or swordfish, or cod.
- We highly recommend placing the marinating fish into a grill pan, or a cast iron skillet before grilling. Alternatively, you could can thread the fish pieces onto skewers.
- If warming the tortillas on the grill, don't leave them on too long, otherwise the heat will dry them out. You can place them in a foil packet and warm them that way. You won't get the nice charred grill marks, but they won't dry out that way.
