Ingredients

  • 2 pounds mahi mahi fillets

  • 4 ½ teaspoons chipotle chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 large avocado - peeled, pitted, and cubed

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ 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.

Cook's Note:

Tilapia or other white fish can be substituted for the mahi mahi.
