Expert Tips

  • Mahi mahi is a sturdy white fish that doesn’t fall apart easily, making it an excellent fish for grilling. It is widely available frozen in skinless 4- to 6-oz portions. If your portions are on the larger end, increase grill time by 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork (145°F in the thickest part of fillets). Thaw frozen fillets completely, and pat dry with paper towels before coating them in the seasoning mixture.
  • If purchasing fresh mahi mahi, remove skin if present.
  • For creamy toppings, add Old El Paso™ Crema Mexicana or Old El Paso™ Zesty Ranch Sauce to your Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos recipe.
  • Make your easy mahi mahi tacos a meal with heated Old El Paso™ Traditional Refried Beans, cooked white rice and chips with salsa.
