Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Mahi Mahi fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole Lime
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 large Carrot, shredded
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 large Butter lettuce leaves
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 1 cup Pico de gallo

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the fish is marinating, prepare the coleslaw by combining cabbage, shredded carrot, red onion, and cilantro in a large bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, juice of the remaining lime, and salt. Pour this dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the Mahi Mahi fillets on the grill.

Step 6

Grill each side of the fish for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the grill and gently break it into large chunks.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, take a large butter lettuce leaf as the base, add a few pieces of grilled Mahi Mahi, a generous spoonful of coleslaw, some avocado slices, and a sprinkle of pico de gallo.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Mahi Mahi Tacos!
