- 2 tsp Chili Powder
- ½ tsp Coriander
- ¼ tsp Cumin
- 4 (6 oz) fillets Mahi-Mahi
- 12 (6 inch) Corn Tortillas
DIRECTIONS (Part 3):
Turn the grill to medium heat. Combine chili powder, coriander, and cumin, sprinkle over the fish reserving at room temperature until the grill is ready. Spray the grill with pan spray before placing the seasoned fish on the grill. Spray the fish before placing on the grill.
Combine the cabbage mixture with the reserved chipotle mixture. Season to taste.
Grill the fish until it turns opaque and flakes apart when gently prodded with a paring knife, about 5- 8 minutes. Transfer fish to a platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes before placing inside a warmed tortilla. ** Place tortillas on the grill in a single layer and heat until warmed.
Layer each tortilla with some of the cabbage mixture. Top with a piece of fish and enjoy.
