  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 (5 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 medium lime, cut into wedges
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). To make things easier, cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent food from sticking.
2
Next, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the perfect blend for your tacos. Mix everything together until it's well combined.
3
Now, brush 2 tablespoons of oil all over the prepared baking sheet. Then, carefully place the mahi mahi fillets on the pan and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over them. Make sure to coat the fillets evenly with the oil.
4
After that, sprinkle the spice mixture you created earlier evenly over both sides of the fillets. This will add a lot of flavor to your dish.
5
Time to put it in the oven! Place the fillets in the preheated oven and bake until they flake easily with a fork and have caramelized drippings, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes.
6
While the fish is baking, prepare your slaw by combining coleslaw mix, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, oil, lime juice, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix everything together until it's well combined.
7
Now, create your crema by stirring together sour cream, chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, and salt in a small bowl. This will add a tangy flavor to your dish.
8
Next, char some tortillas over an open flame. This will give them a nice crispy texture.
9
Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven and flake it with a fork. Now's the time to fill your tortillas with fish, slaw, and drizzle it all with crema.

Finally, squeeze some lime wedges over the top of your dish and serve it immediately.
