Notes: I couldn’t find fresh Mahi Mahi. However, the frozen product I did find was awesome! I also made my own corn tortillas. You can buy your own and that’s fine, but I couldn’t find corn tortillas up in my part of the woods. However, they did have the corn flour to make them. It’s called MASA. Odd, isn’t it?

• 1 Shallot (hola)
• 2 Cloves garlic (hola)
• 3-4 Lime, juice (hole)
• 1/2 tsp Chili powder (hola)
• Salt and pepper to taste (hola)
• Fresh Guacamole. Here is the recipe.
• Cilantro for garnish

Quickie Recipe

In a blender combine sour cream, lime juice, roasted pepper, garlic, shallot and chili powder to make the hola sauce.

Spread guacamole all over one side of the tortilla, layer a few TBSP of fish, add hola sauce, add cabbage mix, add more hola sauce and garnish with cilantro if you like.
