Mahi Mahi Tostadas

Mahi Mahi Tostadas are a delightful twist on traditional Mexican cuisine, featuring grilled Mahi Mahi atop crispy corn tortillas and fresh toppings. This dish combines the rich flavors of the sea with vibrant, zesty accompaniments for a refreshing meal.

Ingredients

• Mahi Mahi fillets - 250 grams
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Cabbage, shredded - 1 cup
• Tomato, diced - 1 medium
• Red onion, diced - 1/4 medium
• Cilantro, chopped - 1/4 cup
• Avocado, sliced - 1 medium
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/4 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder to create a marinade.
3. Add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
4. While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings by mixing the shredded cabbage, diced tomato, red onion, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt, then toss to combine.
5. Grill the marinated Mahi Mahi for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
6. While the fish is grilling, place corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute on each side until they are warmed and slightly crispy.
7. Once the Mahi Mahi is cooked, remove it from the grill and flake it into bite-sized pieces.
8. To assemble the tostadas, place a generous amount of the flaked Mahi Mahi on each tortilla, top with the cabbage mixture, and add slices of avocado.
9. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
