- 2 tsp. each chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, paprika
- ¼ tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper
- 1½ pounds Mahi mahi or other fish, cut in one inch strips
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 1 cup chopped plum tomatoes
- 1 cup sliced red onion
- 1 cup cilantro leaves
- 8 corn tortillas
For the Cilantro Aioli:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp. lime juice
- 1 tbsp. buttermilk
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
Mix together all the spices and salt and pepper, and sprinkle them all over the fish.
In a nonstick skillet on medium heat, heat up the oil and fry the fish on both sides until it's golden brown and cooked through, for about six minutes.
While the fish cooks, blend all the aioli ingredients in the food processor.
Also, heat the corn tortillas on a plate in the microwave for one minute.
Divide the cooked fish between the tortillas. Top the fish with some aioli, and some of the tomato, avocado, cilantro, and onion.
