August 2011 | Grilled Mahi Tacos

Fish tacos made on an outdoor grill are perfect for summer dinners. These tacos are healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Mahi Mahi filets, preferably fresh
• 1 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup mango salsa (recipe below)
• 1-2 ripe avocados depending on size, pitted and sliced
• 8 6-inch corn or wheat tortillas made with NO hydrogenated oils or shortening*
• Lime wedges

Mango salsa

• 1 large ripe mango, skinned and diced
• 1/2 small red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeno, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
• 2-3 tablespoons finely minced fresh cilantro
• Juice of 1 line
• Mix together all ingredients in a bowl

Directions

1. Cut fish into long, 1-inch wide strings for tacos and marinate in teriyaki sauce for a couple of hours before grilling.
2. Cook fish on a medium hot grill or barbeque until completely cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.
3. Layer fish, shredded cabbage, mango salsa, and avocado in warm tortillas. Give a squeeze of lime and enjoy! For extra zing, try topping these tacos with a little bit of low-fat ranch dressing or plain yogurt.

Makes 8 tacos.

* Hydrogenated oils, partially-hydrogenated oils and shortening contain unhealthy trans fat and should be avoided. Look for wheat tortillas made with liquid vegetable oils.
