Preparation
Step 1
Preheat Oven to 400 degrees for Tortillas.
Combine the paprika, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt in a small bowl; stir and rub all over the mahi mahi. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the crema until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, mash together all ingredients for the guacamole. Set aside.
Heat canola oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat. When hot, add in the spice-rubbed mahi mahi. Cook until crisp on the outside and cooked through, flipping halfway through, about 8-10 minutes total. Flake fish with a fork right in the pan.
Brush Tortillas with Canola Oil on Both Sides. Lay on Baking Sheet. Bake until crisp and brown 7 to 10 minutes.
Spread a few spoonfuls of the guacamole down the center of each warmed tortilla. Top with a small handful of the shredded purple cabbage. Evenly divide the flaked fish on top of the cabbage, and finish each taco off with a generous drizzle of the crema.
