Fish:

1 lb of mahi mahi (or other white fish or shrimp)

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp cumin

½ tsp chili powder

½ tsp garlic powder

Oil or butter for cooking

Lime Crema:

1/4 cup sour cream

1 bag of prepared coleslaw

Tortillas (white or corn)

1. Prepare Toppings: Dice mango and avocado. Chop cilantro and slice lime. Set each aside for the tacos.

2. Prepare lime crema by mixing mayo, sour cream, lime juice, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

3. Mix salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl and lightly season mahi mahi with seasoning (or salt and pepper if you want a milder flavor).  Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil or butter (or a combination) over medium-high heat. Add mahi mahi and cook 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is cooked through. Slice mahi mahi and set aside.

4. Lightly oil both sides of the tortillas and cook them on a medium-hot skillet or pan for a minute or two (or to preferred crispiness) on each side.  

5. Prepare tacos by placing 2-3 slices of mahi mahi on the toasted tortilla. Top with coleslaw, mango, avocado, lime crema, and cilantro. Squeeze additional lime onto the taco to taste. Enjoy!
