Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour marinade over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado, halving the cherry tomatoes, dicing the red onion, and chopping the cilantro.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once hot, place the mahi mahi fillets on the grill pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the cooked mahi mahi from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes before flaking into large chunks.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, hold a romaine lettuce leaf in your hand and layer with chunks of mahi mahi, slices of avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 8

Add a dollop of sour cream on top of each taco and serve with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing.

Step 9

Repeat the process for each lettuce leaf until all ingredients are used.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your light and refreshing low carb mahi mahi tacos.
