Ingredients:

• 4 skinless mahi-mahi fillets (4 ounces each)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 ripe avocado
• ⅓ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
• ⅓ cup water
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 6 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
• ½ cup jicama matchsticks
• 1 red Fresno chile or jalapeño pepper, seeded and sliced
• ½ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

Directions:

1. Sprinkle chili powder and ground pepper evenly over the mahi-mahi fillets.
2. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked fish to a paper-towel-lined plate, sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and set aside.
3. In a blender, combine the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, water, lime juice, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until well combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
4. Use a fork to flake the fish into large pieces. Top each warmed tortilla with the flaked fish, jicama matchsticks, avocado sauce, sliced chile (or jalapeño), and fresh cilantro.
5. Serve these heart-healthy mahi-mahi fish tacos immediately and enjoy a flavorful and nutritious meal.
