Mahi Mango Tostadas, a crispy baked tortilla (tostada) topped off with creamy cole slaw, spicy grilled fish, and sweet mango salsa.

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.
Fresh and light, this is one flavorful meal! Enjoy!

Mahi Mango Tostadas
Ingredients
- 4 Mahi-Mahi filets
- 8 6 inch flour tortillas
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.

Absolutely delicious and easy! Great recipe!
Thank you, Angie! I’m a HUGE fan of easy recipes — especially when they also taste good!
made this for cinco de mayo. Great recipe. The cole slaw and mango were wonderful. Thanks for the recipe!
Robin, you are so welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
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 🙂
Thanks, Michele! So glad your family liked the tacos! Mango salsa makes all the difference in this dish!
