Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Sheet Pan Mahi Mahi Tacos.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and lining a rimmed baking sheet with foil for a hassle-free cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a vibrant spice blend that will elevate your mahi mahi.
Step 3
Next, brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it’s well-coated.
Step 4
Place the mahi mahi fillets on the sheet and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over them.
Step 5
Take a moment to rub the oil into the fillets, making sure they’re evenly coated and ready to soak up all that flavor.
Step 6
Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the mahi mahi, giving it a beautiful, flavorful crust.
Step 7
Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the fish bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and the edges are delightfully caramelized.
Step 8
While the fish is baking, let’s whip up a refreshing slaw.
Step 9
In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 10
Toss everything together until it’s well mixed and bursting with flavor.
Step 11
For a creamy touch, mix sour cream, chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, and a pinch of salt in a separate small bowl to create a zesty chipotle crema.
Step 12
If you like a little extra texture, char the tortillas over a gas flame until they’re warm and slightly crispy.
Step 13
Once the fish is done baking, remove it from the oven and flake it gently with a fork, revealing its tender, juicy interior.
Step 14
Now it’s time to assemble your tacos! Fill each tortilla with the flaked fish and a generous scoop of slaw.
Step 15
Drizzle the chipotle crema on top and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for that perfect zing.
Step 16
Serve these delicious tacos with a smile and enjoy every bite!.
