Use canned pineapple to make pineapple jerk chicken. When it comes to getting fruit from the source to your table, canned pineapple is one of the greatest options because it is gathered and packed at the height of ripeness.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (5 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 medium lime, cut into wedges
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
- 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Mix together chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper for tacos in a small bowl until well combined.
- Brush 2 tablespoons oil all over the prepared pan, then add mahi mahi fillets. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over the fillets and rub to coat. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes evenly with a fork and drippings are caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the fish is baking, prepare slaw by combining coleslaw mix, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, oil, lime juice, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss until well combined.
- Stir together sour cream, chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, and salt for crema together in a small bowl.
- Char tortillas over a gas flame.
- Remove fish from the oven and flake it with a fork.
- Fill tortillas with fish and slaw. Drizzle with crema and squeeze lime wedges over top.
- You can substitute any white, flaky fish like tilapia or grouper for the mahi mahi. Instead of using a coleslaw mix, you can slice your own cabbage.
- If you want other veggies with the fish (like peppers and onions), add them to the sheet pan before adding the spice mixture.
- Remove adobo pepper seeds for slightly less spicy taste.
- Use either flour or corn tortillas. If you don’t have a gas stove to char the tortillas, you can use an outdoor grill or toast them in a toaster oven.
Reviews
loved this and it was easy
Amazing! Fish came out great, slaw and sauce were tasty! I did use corn tortillas and warmed them in a oiled skillet
These fish tacos were delicious and easy to make. It only took me about an hour to have them ready! And they are much lighter and healthier than the battered and fried fish tacos. The only thing I would change next time is to make less slaw and less crema as I had a lot of leftovers.
This was perfect! I didn’t have mahi mahi, so I used tilapia and it was great! Other than that, I made this exactly as directed and it was perfection! This will definitely be in my dinner rotation from now on.
Excellent. Whole family loved it. Wouldn’t change a thing. I don’t like sour cream so I didn’t make the topping. Pico de gallo or avacado would be good
