Mahi Mango Tostadas | Life, Love, and Good Food

Weeknight meals don’t have to be boring. With just a little creativity, simple fish tacos become Mahi Mango Tostadas – a crispy baked tortilla (tostada) topped off with creamy cole slaw, spicy grilled fish, and sweet mango salsa. S

tart to finish, this meal comes together in just 30 minutes. ¡Olé!

A few convenience items can help with dinner prep on busy nights. I used a package of shredded cabbage to save time on making the cole slaw and had extra Baja Rub (from Weber Way to Grill) leftover from a previous grilling night.

The rub ingredients in the recipe below makes more than you’ll need for this dish, so just store in a sealed container for later use. Use it on other fish or grilled chicken.

Ingredients
  

Baja Rub

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Honey-Lime Cole Slaw

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 12 oz. pkg. shredded cabbage

Mango Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place tortillas directly on oven rack and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Combine all ingredients for the cole slaw except for the cabbage and stir until smooth. Pour over cabbage and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Peel and dice mango and combine with all other salsa ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat grill to medium-high heat. Brush the Mahi-Mahi lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with the Baja rub on both sides, adjusting for your preference (less for mild, more for spicy). Grill fish 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the filet. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  • Flake fish into large chunks.
  • Place a tostada (baked tortilla) on a plate and layer with 1/2 cup cole slaw, grilled fish, and mango salsa. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired.

    1. Thank you, Angie! I’m a HUGE fan of easy recipes — especially when they also taste good!

  1. made this for cinco de mayo. Great recipe. The cole slaw and mango were wonderful. Thanks for the recipe!

  2. 5 stars
    These were so good! The whole family loved them (kids included). I loved that I could prep the mango salsa, coleslaw and tostados during nap time leaving less to do later. I’m not really a cole slaw or fish person, but I loved it and will make again 🙂

    1. Thanks, Michele! So glad your family liked the tacos! Mango salsa makes all the difference in this dish!
