Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound white fish (I used 4 4-ounce mahi mahi fish fillets), cut into 1 inch pieces
  • ¼ cup taco seasoning
  • lime divided (plus additional lime wedges for serving, juice of 1 ½
  • 2 cups cabbage slaw or thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 8 flour tortilla 6-inch tortillas, taco-sized

Avocado Sauce

  • 1 avocado pitted and shelled
  • lime juice of 1
  • cup cilantro
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or plain greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • milk as needed, or water

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor combine the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, mayo (or greek yogurt), and salt and garlic powder for the sauce and pulse til smooth. Add 1 tablespoon or milk or water at a time until desired consistency is reached. (You just want it to be easily spreadable and smooth) Set aside.
  2. Toss slaw or cabbage with 1/4 cup mayo and juice from 1/2 of a lime. Set aside.
  3. Grease a skillet and preheat over medium heat. Add fish pieces. Drizzle juice from 1 lime over fish, then sprinkle with taco seasoning and saute over medium heat 6-8 minutes until outside is browned and fish is tender.
  4. Assemble tacos by dividing slaw, fish, and avocado sauce between tortillas. Serve with additional cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Sauce can be made in advance and stored in airtight container up to 24 hours.
