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

Step 1

Rinse fish and pat dry; cut into four equal portions.

Step 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.

Step 3

Meanwhile, mash avocado in another bowl. Add sour cream, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and mix until smooth.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 6

Serve fish on warmed tortillas topped with shredded cabbage and a dollop of the avocado sauce. Plate with lime wedges.
