Ingredients

  • 1 gallon vegetable oil
  • 2 green plantains, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 pound yellow corn tortilla chips
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 small can chipotle peppers
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon capers
  • 1/2 bunch chives, minced
  • 2 pound mahi mahi, skinned, pin bones removed, and cut into strips

Cooking Instructions

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil to 350°F in a medium-sized saucepot. Fry the plantain chips until golden brown, then remove and cool.

In a food processor, combine the plantain chips, tortilla chips and salt, and pulse until coarsely ground.

In a small container, combine the cabbage, vinegar, salt, and sugar, and place in the refrigerator to pickle.

In a blender, puree the chipotle and lime juice until smooth. In a mixing bowl combine with the mayonnaise. Add the capers and chives.

Roll the fish in the flour, then egg, then plantain mixture and fry in the oil until golden brown, about 1 minute. Then drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Spread the flour tortillas on a baking sheet and cook in the oven just to heat them slightly. Spread some of the chipotle mayonnaise mixture over the tortillas. Top with the fish, pickled cabbage, and a slice of avocado. Squeeze a little lime juice over each one.
