Mahi Mahi Tacos

1 3.5 oz. piece of frozen mahi mahi (Treasures of the Sea™)
2 La Tortilla Factory™ tortillas
Salt/pepper
½ tsp. ancho chile powder
1/3 c. reduced sodium sweet corn
½ c. reduced sodium black beans
1 plum tomato, diced
1 scallion, sliced
½ tsp. Chipotle Tabasco™ sauce
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. grated orange rind
¼ avocado, sliced into 6 slices

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. On a piece of foil, sprinkle salt, pepper, and some ancho chile powder.
  2. Place a frozen piece of mahi mahi on the foil, sprinkling a little more salt, pepper, and ancho powder on top. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, depending on how "done" you want your fish. Notice—NO oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix corn, black beans, tomato, scallion, Tabasco™ sauce, cayenne pepper, a pinch of salt, a grind of black pepper, and some grated orange rind. Let sit while the fish bakes to help the flavors develop.
  4. Placing three avocado slices on each tortilla.
  5. When the fish is cooked, let it cool slightly, cut it length-wise, and place it on the avocado.
  6. Put about ½ cup of the corn/bean salsa on the fish, cover with one cup of mixed field greens, and roll up, folding the edges in as you roll if you want more of a burrito than a taco, otherwise, just fold it over, and eat!
This yields two mahi mahi tacos (which is one serving, believe it or not). I finish with an orange (the same one from which the orange rind came, so there's no waste!)
