Easy Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos

  4.0 – 1 reviews  • Mexican

Using only a few basic ingredients like eggs, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, and fresh basil, my husband creates these tasty and delectable meatballs every time. Even kids adore them! To bring out the moistness of the cooked meatballs, you can, if you like, completely bathe them in your favorite sauce.

These turned out well. I used more like 1 tablespoon of seasoning instead of 1 teaspoon. Mine only needed 5 minutes to cook when covered, so make sure you don’t overcook yours. I added some jalapeños to the Pico and used flour tortillas. Very tasty tacos. Thanks.
