Mahi Mahi Tacos with Homemade Salsa

I first had fish tacos at Hooters and they were so yummy. Since having them, I was inspired to try them at home. I have made them a few times, but tonight they came out so good.

Mahi Mahi Tacos

1 lb mahi mahi
1 tsp season all (we use lowry's)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Tortillas
Toppings of your choice (I used cheese, shredded cabbage- or use coleslaw mix with no sauce- sour cream, and the homemade salsa)

1. Preheat oven to 400 F
2. Combine all spices with lime juice (will be like a paste) and rub on mahi mahi. Place on baking sheet and bake about 10 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.
3. Put cooked mahi mahi along with toppings in tortilla and enjoy!

Homemade salsa
1 medium-large tomato
1 small piece jalapeno (I cut a small piece off the jalapeno and freeze the rest)
1/4 small onion
1 garlic clove
Small bunch of cilantro
Salt to taste

1. Combine all ingredients in blender and pulse until chopped to desired consistency.

Chicken Enchiladas

My mom used to make this for us all the time. I used to love the recipe so much that I would ask her to make it for me on my birthdays. She got the recipe from the back of a Campbells Cream of something soup (either chicken or celery) and adapted it a little bit. The recipe below is the adaptation as I cannot seem to find the original that was close to hers.

Chicken Enchiladas

1 can cream of chicken soup (I use the low fat)
1.5 cups sour cream (I use the low fat)
1 pound cooked chicken breast cubed
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 onion diced
1 can chopped green chiles
Tortillas (you can use low carb to make this a low carb meal)
Shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350 F

1. Combine soup and sour cream in medium sized bowl
2. Saute diced onions until translucent and soft.
3. Add chili powder to chopped onions and cook for a few seconds until fragrant.
4. Add chopped chiles, chicken and half of the soup/sour cream mixture. Stir to combine and allow to heat through, then remove from heat.
5. Fill tortillas with mixture and place in baking sheet seam side down. Spread the rest of the soup/sour cream mixture over the top. Sprinkle with cheese.
6. Cover pan with tin foil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is melty.

Mahi Mahi Tacos

I love tacos and seafood. I have had some pretty good fish tacos at certain restaurants and some not so good ones at others. While I was at my mom's house watching my brothers I thought it would be perfect time to try to make them myself. My brothers love seafood and are not picky eaters at all (unlike my hubby), so I got to make some recipes that I don't usually make at home. These tacos turned out so good. I made a whole bag of Mahi Mahi (frozen from Sams Club) and the entire bag was gone (only 3 people eating). You could certainly substitute your favorite fish, but I prefer a firm white fish like Mahi (yum grouper would be great too). If you are on a low carb diet, you could also use low carb tortillas to make this fit.

Mahi Mahi Tacos

2 lbs Mahi Mahi
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
Tortillas
Shredded cabbage (you can use lettuce instead, the cabbage is a little crunchier)
Shredded cheese (we used cheddar)
Salsa (or you could use tomatoes)
Any other of your favorite taco toppings

1. Preheat oven to 350 (or go by directions on bag). Place Mahi Mahi on baking sheet.
2. Combine spices and olive oil in small bowl. Brush on Mahi Mahi filets
3. Bake Mahi Mahi filets until flaky. Use package instructions for timing.
4. Put Mahi Mahi in tortilla and top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
