Ingredients

For the Taco Filling

• 1 lb Mahi Mahi fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn tortillas

For the Lime Crema

• 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Zest of 1 lime
• Salt to taste

For the Cabbage Slaw

• 2 cups shredded green cabbage
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup diced radishes
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fish:
   • In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Rub this mixture all over the Mahi Mahi fillets.

🥄 Let the fish marinate for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavors before cooking.

2. Cook the Mahi Mahi:

   • Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
   • Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking the fish into bite-sized pieces.

3. Make the Lime Crema:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, lime zest, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4. Prepare the Cabbage Slaw:

   • In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, cilantro, radishes, apple cider vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.

5. Assemble the Tacos:

   • Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
   • Place a generous scoop of the flaked Mahi Mahi on each tortilla, top with the cabbage slaw, and drizzle with lime crema.

6. Serve:

   • Enjoy your tacos with extra lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick!

🌟 Feel free to customize these tacos with your favorite toppings, like sliced avocado, spicy salsa, or even pineapple salsa for a touch of sweetness.
