Ingredients

½ cup sliced red onion
⅓ cup white wine vinegar
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 oz mahi mahi steaks or fillets cut into 12 thin slices
2 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 teaspoon tajin
12 corn tortillas warmed
2 cups shredded green cabbage or cole slaw mix
2 roma tomato diced
¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped) chopped
1 batch Yogurt-Dill Dressing
1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions

Place the sliced red onion in a small dish. Pour the vinegar over the top and season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow to marinate while you prepare the rest of the taco components. Can be made ahead, up to a day in advance. In that case, refrigerate until ready to serve.
½ cup sliced red onion, ⅓ cup white wine vinegar, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
In a medium bowl, toss the fish with the oil and the spices. Allow to marinate while you heat a heavy duty skillet. Cook the fish in the hot skillet until cooked through, turning often, about 7 to 10 minutes.
12 oz mahi mahi steaks or fillets, 2 tablespoon olive oil, 1-2 teaspoon tajin
Dip the tortillas in water and heat on a hot griddle, turning after 30-45 seconds until browned in spots. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and heat in the oven.
12 corn tortillas
Divide the cooked fish among the tortillas. Top with cabbage, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side.

Nutritional values are approximate and based on 1 taco.

Serving Suggestions: Mahi mahi tacos are great served with rice and beans for an easy Taco Tuesday dinner.

Shop Your Kitchen: Tacos are generally very forgiving, so use what you have to save money.

Use lettuce if you don't have cabbage.

Swap in a different type of fish for the mahi mahi.

Serve flour tortillas or lettuce wraps if you don't have corn tortillas.

Play with the toppings, using a different salsa or sauce.

To Make a Meal Prep: You can meal prep this mahi mahi recipe. Just be sure to store the tortillas, fish, and toppings in separate containers. Reheat the tortillas and fish and add your taco toppings to taste.

Freeze Extra for Later: I don’t recommend making these for the freezer, but you can store a pack of corn tortillas with the bag of fish fillets as a type of kit so you see that you have a meal plan when you open the freezer.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or for best texture, the air fry
