Grilled Mahi Mahi Taco, Red Cabbage Slaw, Tomato Avocado Salsa, image

Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos With Red Cabbage Slaw, Tomato And Avocado Salsa And Pineapple Hot Sauce is the whole name for this lovely recipe. Created by Bobby Flay for a wedding on FoodNetwork, and it was a big hit with all the guests at the wedding. I wanted to share this lovely recipe with you all. It took me about 3 hrs. to make this dish, but it is well worth it! Be careful when making the Charred Pineapple-Habanero Hot Sauce using the the habanero chiles, as it is HOT with 2! I would suggest only 1 if you don't like real hot and spicy.

Steps:

  • For Tacos:.
  • Preheat grill.
  • Brush fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side.

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • For Tomato And Avocado Salsa:.

  • For Charred Pineapple-Habanero Hot Sauce:.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tacos didn't turn out as good as the pictures. The fish was a little dry and the slaw was too vinegary.

These tacos were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best fish tacos he's ever had.
