Mahi Mahi Tacos with Chipotle Crema and Mango Salsa
Description
This recipe features mahi mahi fillets cut into pieces and heavily seasoned with a cornstarch-spice mix containing salt, black pepper, cumin, sweet paprika, and cayenne for a mild heat. The fish cooks on a hot griddle until nicely seared and fully cooked through. Corn tortillas are warmed alongside the fish for assembling tacos.
The chipotle lime crema slaw is a blend of slaw mix, Greek yogurt, sour cream, finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo, lime juice, cumin, and garlic powder. This sauce provides a tangy, smoky, and creamy component that contrasts well with the fresh mango salsa made from hot cherry or Peppadew peppers, chipotle, grape tomatoes, red onion, diced mango, cilantro, serrano pepper, and seasonings. Together, these toppings add layers of spice, sweetness, acidity, and texture to the mild white fish.
Serving the mahi mahi in corn tortillas with these fresh accompaniments delivers colorful, flavorful tacos suitable for lunch or a casual dinner. The salsas can be made ahead to deepen their taste, and the grilled fish cooks quickly to a juicy finish.
