• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 cup (finely shredded) Red cabbage
• 1 whole (sliced) Avocado

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice of half the lime, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on a plate and generously brush them with the prepared spice mixture.

Step 4

Grill or pan-sear the Mahi Mahi fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until slightly charred, then wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream or Greek yogurt with the juice of the remaining half lime and the sriracha sauce.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of the cooked Mahi Mahi on each warm tortilla.

Step 8

Top each taco with a small handful of shredded red cabbage, slices of avocado, and a drizzle of the spicy lime crema.

Step 9

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and scallions for added flavor and color.
