Margarita fish tacos? Absolutely! Cubes of mahi mahi soak up a quick marinade of tequila, lime, garlic and our organic Southwest Spice, then hit the grill for just a few minutes. Tuck them into warm tortillas with tangy quick-pickled red cabbage, cilantro lime crema, Cotija and avocado. Any firm white fish works: halibut, cod or tilapia.
