Ingredients
For the fish
- 2 mahi mahi filets fresh
- 2 tbsp blackening seasoning Old Bay
- 1 tbsp cultured oil
For the tacos
- 6 soft shell tortillas
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice
- 1 cup Easy Mango Salsa
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Tacos are all about timing. If you are making these Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos with the Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice and mango salsa, prepare both of those first. Fresh mahi takes less than 5 minutes to cook and will be ready to use in the tacos.
For the fish:
- Heat a cast iron skillet to medium heat and add Cultured Oil. While it heats up, use a silicone brush to brush each filet with a bit of Cultured Oil also.
- Pour the blackened seasoning onto a plate. Place the oiled mahi in the seasoning, making sure it’s well coated before flipping over to the other side.
- Add the mahi mahi filets to the hot skillet.
- Cover the skillet to trap in the heat. Cook mahi for 2-3 minutes, then flip the filets to cook for 2-3 more minutes.
- Once the mahi mahi is cooked, remove from the skillet and let it cool for a moment. Use a fork to flake it apart.
Assemble
- Create your taco assembly line: Start with all of the tortillas lined up. Add rice, slices of avocado, and then add in the blackened mahi mahi to each taco.
- Top with fresh mango salsa (don’t be shy with this, it’s so flavorful and fresh, it highlights the seasoned fish!)
- Garnish each taco with a squeeze of lime juice and enjoy!
Notes
- IT’S SO EASY TO OVERCOOK MAHI MAHI. Internal temperature should be 145°F - cooking with a lid allows the fish to cook quicker and more evenly.

- Tacos are best enjoyed fresh. You can, however, store each of the components in individual containers (rice, salsa, and mahi) for easy assembly when you’re ready to enjoy
