AMAZING Mahi Mahi Tacos


Ok, rarely do I brag on my cooking, but these are out of this world! Even my mom who was a wee bit frightened by the sound of a fish taco tried them and fell in love. Give the recipe a whirl and you too will be saying, "Looks like we're having fish tonight!" (Quote from Finding Nemo-shark scene.)
Mahi Mahi Tacos
Mahi Mahi is a beautiful fish with yummy white meat. It is so nice they named it twice, as my grandma Lorna would say!

Ingredients:
2 pounds, or more, of skinless Mahi Mahi fillet (We buy the frozen bag at Costco and use 3 fillets.)
2-4 T olive oil
1 -2 limes (Depends on if they are big or mini limes.)
1/2 cup cilantro - finely chopped
salt and pepper

Taco Ingredients:
finely sliced cabbage (A short cut? Buy the bag of ready to make cole-slaw)
diced red onion
pico de gallo
sour cream
avocados (This is a must have for Ted in anything resembling Mexican cuisine.)
cheese
warmed tortilla shells (We use white flour shells.... terrible I know.)

Directions:
Grill the fish. When it is done, flake it into a glass cake pan. Mix the olive oil and lime juice with the cilantro. Pour this over the fish. It should be a little liquidy as you don't want the fish drying out. Salt and pepper. Place the glass pan in the oven and keep warmed at 250 degrees while you prep the remaining ingredients.

Dress the taco's and enjoy! Bonn apatite
*For a side..... we usually serve brown rice with black beans - two favorites in our house.
