Paleo Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos!

Well, it's Monday again...

We don't know about you, but we kept pretty busy this past weekend. Our weekend was a whirlwind of  trying out new restaurants, studying/working, avoiding the rain, and even hitting up a Wicker Park music festival for an afternoon. Our weekends tend to be pretty jam-packed just like our weekdays, so one of our favorite things to do on Sunday evenings now is to slow it down a little and cook a nice Sunday night meal and cook/prep most of our food for the week ahead.

Last night, we prepped a bunch of scrambled eggs with veggies and beef bacon, some curried ground turkey to eat with our lunch salads.

For dinner, we tried our hand at Paleo Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos, and honestly -- this is definitely going to become a staple dinner option! It was so quick and easy to make and so fresh and tasty -- and let's not forget about the incredible nutrition!

PALEO MAHI MAHI FISH TACOS
Ingredients
  • Fish! (We used Trader Joe's Frozen Mahi Mahi Pieces)
  • Approx. 1 tbsp of Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 Head of Iceberg Lettuce
  • Salsa or Pico de Gallo (We used the Trader Joe's fresh spicy Pico de Gallo)
  • 1 Avocado or Guac!
  • Olive Oil for the Saute Pan
Directions
1) Thaw frozen TJ's Mahi Mahi pieces, or whatever other fish you are using
2) If you aren't using the TJ's Fish, cut your fish into about 1" pieces
3) Coat a saute pan with olive oil and cook fish over a medium heat. Add in the Cajun seasoning and distribute across all of the fish. Fish is cooked when it is light and flaky and there is no pink remaining
4) Chop the butt off your head of Iceberg lettuce
5) Arrange a few leafs into a taco/wrap type shape
6) Place fish inside your lettuce taco and add Pico and Avocado/Guac to taste!


Warning: Eat over a plate, this bad boy get's a little messy. But the flavor (and nutrition) is definitely worth the mess!

If you try this recipe, let us know what you thought! Also let us know if you add any other ingredients to it!

Happy Feasting!
