The recipe for the Spicy Mayo Fish Tacos is a collaboration with McCormick®.
The McCormick® Spicy Mayo Fish Tacos are a yummy idea not only for Taco Tuesday but for a family gathering or to repurpose leftover grilled fish for a weekly meal
Grilled fish tacos are a Mexican cuisine favorite, and a traditional dish served in many towns located on the coast of Mexico where fishing is one of the essential activities in the region, and fresh fish daily basis.
When vacationing on the beaches of the Mexican Pacific coast, I have enjoyed grilled fish, and lobster tacos and those flavors are my inspiration for the spicy mayo fish tacos and using a childhood favorite, the McCormick® Mayonesa con Jugo de Limón.
This mayonnaise was very popular at home. It was never missed in my school torta for lunch and also in my esquites and grilled corn.
Using McCormick Mayonesa con Jugo de Limón is a flavorful way to create delicious sauces. When adding paprika and the kick of the red and black pepper makes the mayo a delicate sauce that can go well with seafood, and for dipping fresh carrots, cucumbers, and celery sticks.
The McCormick® Mayo has the right flavor that feels like home.
For garnishing the mahi-mahi tacos I have combined the McCormick® mayo with smoked paprika, black and red pepper and chopped yellow habanero from my own garden. The fish is seasoned with McCormick® ground cumin, lemon juice and a dash or McCormick® paprika for color and flavor.
The Mahi-Mahi fish or also called Dorado and it is a great fish for grilling has a mild flavor that combines very nicely with the warmth of the smoked paprika and the ground cumin from McCormick®.
And then complemented with the spicy sauce, avocado slices and green onions makes the fish tacos an excellent bite for any occasion.
I know grilling season is coming to an end due to weather conditions, but here in Florida, we can grill most of the year. So preparing these Fish Tacos is a great idea not only for Taco Tuesday but for a family gathering or to repurpose leftover grilled fish for a weekly meal.
