Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound Mahi Mahi (or halibut, cod, snapper fillets, or shrimp)
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Mahi Mahi in the mixture for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  5. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and salt to make the crema.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing grilled fish on the tortillas, topping with cabbage, cilantro, red onion, avocado, and a drizzle of crema.

Notes

For a spicier crema, add more hot sauce to taste. These tacos are best served immediately after grilling. If using shrimp, adjust the grilling time to 2-3 minutes per side. Store any leftover crema in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
