These grilled fish tacos are loaded with tender, flaky white fish and topped with a cilantro lime slaw that will knock your socks off. The spice-rubbed mahi mahi is grilled to perfection, and the crunchy bite of slaw is simply mouthwatering.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 mahi mahi fillets or your favorite white fish
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Fiesta Rub
- 16 small corn tortillas
Cilantro Lime Slaw
- 1 cup shredded cabbage I like a mix of red and green
- ¼ cup green onions diced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
Slaw Dressing
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
Optional Toppings
- lime wedges
- cilantro
- Mexican crema
- avocado sliced
Instructions
- Preheat and season grates. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450 degrees F) for direct heat grilling. Place a folded paper towel between tongs and dip it in avocado oil. Brush the saturated paper towel lightly across clean grill grates.
- Make the slaw. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, cilantro, and green onions. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the slaw dressing. Set aside and wait to mix the dressing into the slaw until just before serving.
- Season. Season the fish fillets on all sides with Fiesta Rub.
- Grill. Place the seasoned fillets on the oiled grill grates and close the lid. Grill the fillets for about 4 minutes per side, flipping gently once the fillets start to release easily from the grates. If your fish are sticking, allow them to cook for another minute or two before attempting to flip. Grill the fish until the fillets reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Grill the tortillas. Remove the fillets to a platter and tent lightly with foil. Quickly grill the tortillas until they are slightly charred and warmed through. Wrap the tortillas tightly in aluminum foil to keep them warm until serving.
- Assemble the fish tacos. Combine the dressing with the slaw. Assemble your tacos with two warm corn tortillas, some flaked grilled fish, a healthy topping of the cilantro lime slaw, and your favorite toppings. I strongly recommend Mexican crema, avocado, more cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
