Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos
In this mahi-mahi fish taco recipe, chili-coated fish gets a lovely crust from the hot pan. The creaminess of the avocado sauce complements the crisp crunch of the jicama, and it's all pulled together in 20 minutes.

-
4 (4 ounce) skinless mahi-mahi fillets
-
1 teaspoon chili powder

Description
-
Sprinkle fish evenly with chili powder and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish; cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
-
Place avocado, yogurt, water, lime juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender; process until well combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
-
Use a fork to flake the fish into large pieces. Top tortillas with the fish, jicama, the avocado sauce, sliced chile (or jalapeño) and cilantro. Serve immediately.
