Why You'll Love This Recipe
Whenever we go down to Carlsbad, I literally eat at Haggo's Tacos every day. If you live in the Carlsbad or Encinitas area, and you haven't been, then I highly recommend going. They are an organic taco shop, and it is so good! I usually get the fish tacos or the shrimp tacos, but I've had almost everything on their menu and it's all amazing.
So, I decided to make my own version of my favorite tacos that I get there. These Mahi Mahi Street Tacos are made with wild caught Mahi Mahi that’s really easy to cook in your skillet! I make a homemade slaw with carrots, red onion, cilantro, sour cream, and lime.
I top these simple Mahi Mahi Street Tacos with fresh mango, Homemade Salsa, and avocado for a light and simple taco that you’ll want to make every Taco Tuesday!

Why go organic?
You may be wondering why I push organic ingredients for everything, even savory and healthy dishes. Organic ingredients go beyond just health and wellness, and contribute so much to the taste and flavor of a recipe. So, if you think that you're making something healthy and buying fruits, veggies, or meats so maybe you don't need to spend the extra to go organic here – let me sway your thinking.
Organic ingredients are made in a more pure way, therefore using no additives, no GMOs, and minimal ingredients. This really allows the true ingredients to shine – and because of that their flavor shines through. Therefore, organic ingredients are more flavorful than their non organic counterparts. So, just because it's already a healthy recipe, or you're already buying good for you ingredients – it doesn't mean you can skip organic! Trust me here, and make the switch. Your body and your taste buds will thank you!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.
