Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to marinate the mahi mahi fillets for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
  • Grilling the fish adds a smoky flavor, but you can also cook it in a skillet if you don't have a grill.
  • For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeno. Remove the seeds for a milder salsa.
  • You can adjust the amount of tequila in the salsa according to your preference.
  • If you prefer a softer tortilla, you can warm it in the microwave or on a stovetop.

Storage and Serving

  • These tacos are best served immediately while the fish is still hot and the salsa is fresh.
  • If you have any leftovers, store the grilled fish and salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • The grilled fish can be reheated in the microwave or on a stovetop. The salsa is best enjoyed cold.
  • To serve leftovers, reheat the fish and assemble the tacos with fresh tortillas and salsa.
  • Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges for a burst of freshness.
