Blackend Mahi Tacos

I love fish tacos (well all tacos for that matter) this is a great receipt that adds a different kind of spice to your fish tacos.....blackening seasoning. I use one that I get at our local flea market, but there are several good brands out there or you can make your own.

The following serves 4

Blackened Mahi Tacos
2 large mahi mahi fillets (about a pound total)
1 green pepper julienned
1 red pepper (orange or yellow would work too) julienned
1 medium yellow onion julienned
12 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded jack cheese
blackening seasoning
olive oil
sour cream and salsa to top tacos

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat
Cover fish in blackened seasoning on both sides
Cover pan with Olive Oil then place the fish in the pan, cook 6-8 minutes on each side
In another pan, heat to medium add a bit of OO, once hot, add the veggies add salt & pepper and cook til soft
Once the fish is done flake with a fork
Each person can make their own tacos: I like to heat the tortilla's on the stove
Place a tablespoon or so of the fish and veggies in the tortilla
Top with sour cream, salsa & cheese

I normally serve the tacos with black beans and chips & guacamole (see past post for receipt)
If you like a little bit more heat, you can add jalapeno to your peppers and onion mix

If you're feeling adventurous, here is what you need to make your own Blackened Seasoning
