Ingredients
Mahi Mahi Fillets
2 (seasoned with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper)
Sea Salt
1 dash (for seasoning the fish)
Black Pepper
1 dash (for seasoning the fish)
Olive Oil
1 teaspoon (for coating the fish)
Corn Tortillas
6-8 (heated and shaped into taco shells)
Green Cabbage
1/2 head (shredded)
Lime Juice
4 tablespoons (divided for cabbage and sauce)
Real Mayonnaise
1/2 cup (for the sauce)
Red Onion
1/3 (finely diced for sauce)
Dried Cilantro
1 tablespoon (for mixing into the sauce)
Instructions
1
Prepare the cabbage: Shred half a head of green cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of lime juice, toss to combine, and set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
2
Heat the tortillas: Preheat your Panini press, skillet, or grill to high heat. Lightly press and heat 6-8 corn tortillas until they are crisp yet still pliable, which should take about 1-2 minutes per side. Once done, remove from heat and shape each tortilla into a taco shell, then set aside.
3
Make the sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of real mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, dried cilantro (or fresh, if preferred), and finely diced red onion. Mix thoroughly and let it sit to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Cook the fish: Lightly coat the mahi mahi fillets with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper. In the same device used to heat the tortillas, cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through until it's cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat, shred with a fork, and transfer to a serving dish.
5
Assemble the tacos: For a delightful communal dining experience, place all the taco components on the table. Each person can start with a taco shell, fill it with a generous amount of marinated shredded cabbage, followed by a portion of the shredded mahi mahi, and finally top it off with the creamy sauce. Enjoy the interactive meal!
