These chili peppers are stuffed with a chicken, savory/sweet mixture of raisins, walnuts, sugar, and spices. This dish is a visual and gustatory delight because of the creamy goat cheese sauce on top and the fresh cilantro on top. Very delicious, or muy sabroso.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 (3 ounce) fillets mahi mahi fillets
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- 1 large mango – peeled, seeded and diced
- 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 6 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Cook the fillets in the hot oil until the fish is golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.
- To assemble, place a cooked mahi-mahi fillet into the center of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.

Reviews
My favorite go-to fish taco recipe of all time. Depending on what I have on hand, I use Cod instead of Mahi Mahi. I also will make pico de gallo and add mango to it for the topping. The ginger lime dressing is amazing as is. Highly recommended!
Very tasty!
Tastes great with shrimp, as well! I always make both & let my family/friends pick!
This recipe was awesome! I followed the recipe exactly as it was and unless you want some “heat”, I wouldn’t change a thing. I can’t wait until our mangos are ripened (1 more month) as I know it will make it even better.
So easy and delicious!
Great. We are at a medium salsa to the top and we probably would have used corn tortillas or a corn flour blend. Very good and fresh tasting!
very good. made extra sauce
I grilled the fish fillets. I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Grilled asparagus as a veggie side.
Will definitely be making this one again.
I used haddock instead of mahi-mahi but still had great results ! A awesome mixture of flavours.
I used plain, fat free Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
Really fresh and tasty
Super yummy! We marinated the fish before cooking to add a little extra flavor, and added a squirt of sriracha and some shredded cabbage to the finished tacos. The sauce and salsa were amazing!
Great recipe! Made one version exactly like recipe. Mahi Mahi held up nicely. After cooking, I cut the filets into long pieces. Everyone was happy to have something out of the ordinary for supper. My grandson is allergic to gluten and dairy. So I substituted dairy-free sour cream and used gluten-free corn taco shells for his. He loved it!
I used Haddock instead ,deliscious
I literally can’t say enough nice things about this dish – everything from the sauce to the salsa, the simplicity of the fish to the cilantro on top – spot on!!! Make this with two jalapenos for a little extra kick. We will be having this many, many more times!!!
I only altered the recipe a little to accommodate my personal tastes for cilantro and the sauce. It was delicious!
Very tasty. I seasoned the fish with garlic powder , kosher salt, old bay and pepper. I will definitely make this again.
Absolutely love this recipe! The fish was so flavorful and the fresh fruits made it so much better! I’m not a big fan of sour cream, and I even ate that! If you want something refreshing, sweet and healthy, I’d go with this recipe!
Simply perfect as is!
great recipe!
