Directions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place fish in a medium size dish. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, ancho, jalapeno, and cilantro and pour over the fish. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the fish from the marinade place onto a hot grill, flesh side down. Grill the fish for 4 minutes on the first side and then flip for 30 seconds and remove. Let rest for 5 minutes then flake the fish with a fork.
Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for 20 seconds. Divide the fish among the tortillas and garnish with any or all of the garnishes.
Pureed Tomato Salsa:
- 2 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 serrano chile
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce

Preheat grill or use side burners of the grill. Heat oil in medium saucepan, add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add tomatoes, serrano and jalapeno and cook until tomatoes are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Puree the mixture with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Add the hot sauce, oregano, cilantro and lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I love this recipe. Not only is it great for mahi mahi but is wonderful with shrimp. The only things different I do is I add some salt & use lime olive oil in place of the canola. I made these for new years dinner & my company loved them. Even the ones who don't like fish tacos couldn't stop eating them.

I'm not a fish lover but trying to eat more of it, but LOVED this! I used tilapia and cod. I liked the tialpia better because it soaked up the flavor of the tasy marinade! I thought the prep was easy and quick and my whole family loved it! (I even made them watch Bobby's video of how to make them :-

First time making Fish Tacos, used Tilapia we had on hand, also used coleslaw instead of just cabbage, I loved them, the fish could use a little more flavor ... salt and pepper?, we baked the fish, it all went fast. no leftovers.
