Ingredients
- 1 Hass avocado
- 1 Mango diced
- 2 plum tomatoes diced
- 1 tablespoon cilantro minced
- ½ Lime zested
- 1 lime juiced and divided
- 16 ounce mahi mahi filets
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 6 corn tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cabbage
Instructions
Avocado Mango Salsa
- First, prepare the avocado mango salsa. Combine the diced avocado, mango, plum tomato, and cilantro in a bowl. Sprinkle with lime zest and lime juice. Mix well and place in the refrigerator until your ready to construct the tacos.
Fish Tacos
- Season the mahi mahi with the taco seasoning on both sides, and set to the side. Then, preheat a large killet on medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the mahi mahi for 5 minutes, turn over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then remove the fish from the pan and set to the side (to keep it warm you can tent the fish with a piece of aluminum foil).
- Using the same sauté pan, add in 1-cup canola cooking oil. Increase the heat to high. After the oil has heated for 1-2 minutes, place one white corn tortilla in the skillet. Once it begins to bubble (about 10-15 seconds) turn the corn tortilla over, let it stand for 5 seconds then using tongs fold one end in half. Rotate each side for a few seconds until golden brown.
- Once the corn tortilla shell is golden brown, remove from the sauté pan and place on a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat until all the taco shells have been cooked.
- Place a tablespoon or so of shredded cabbage in the middle of a tortilla, a pieces of the fish, and top with the avocado mango salsa. Repeat until all tacos are made.
Notes
- Servings - This recipe makes 6 tacos which is enough for 2 hungry adults or possibly 3 if you serve with other side dishes. You can easily adjust the quantities to feed more if desired.
- Marinate - Allow the fish to soak in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes before pan searing to enhance its taste and tenderness.
- Non-stick Pan - Use a non-stick pan to ensure the mahi filet does not stick to the pan.
- Don't overcook fish - Cook the mahi mahi for about 4-5 minutes per side until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Toppings - Elevate your tacos by adding fresh ingredients like crunchy cabbage, diced avocados, chopped cilantro, fruit salsas, and a squeeze of lime for a burst of freshness.
