Description

These easy grilled fish tacos with avocado sauce are prepared with mahi mahi, but any white fish will work.

Ingredients

2 pounds mahi mahi fillets
4 1/2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large avocado - peeled, pitted, and cubed
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
nonstick cooking spray
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
3 cups shredded cabbage
3 medium limes, quartered

Directions

1 Rinse fish and pat dry; cut into four equal portions.
2 Mix 4 teaspoons chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Dredge fish in the mixture, patting and dusting for even coverage. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, mash avocado in another bowl. Add sour cream, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and mix until smooth.
4 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat the inside of a grill basket with nonstick spray and place fish inside the basket.
5 Place the basket on the preheated grill and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and transfer fish to a plate. Break into bite-sized pieces.
6 Serve fish on warmed tortillas topped with shredded cabbage and a dollop of the avocado sauce. Plate with lime wedges.
