Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients

  • 4 Mahi-Mahi fillets, skin removed
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges for serving

Мethod of preparation

1. Start by preparing the Mahi-Mahi fillets. Pat them dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish. 2. In a small bowl, mix together the juice of 2 limes, lime zest, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour this marinade over the fish, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. 3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the lime sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Set aside. 4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated Mahi-Mahi fillets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer the cooked fish to a plate and let it rest while you warm the tortillas. 5. In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas one at a time over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. 6. Assemble the tacos by flaking the cooked Mahi-Mahi into bite-sized pieces. Place a portion of fish onto each tortilla. Top with thinly sliced red cabbage, avocado slices, and drizzle with the lime sauce. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired. 7. Serve the Cilantro Lime Mahi-Mahi Tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus. Enjoy immediately with a refreshing drink of your choice.
