It's Multi-Cooker Monday.........
Every month my friend Sue of Palatable Pastime invites us to join her in sharing recipes that we have made using our small kitchen appliances.  So pull out your slow cookers, instant pots, air fryers, etc and start cooking.  Here are some ideas for you.......

Slow Cooker Mahi Mahi Tacos

Season your fish and put it in the slow cooker with tomatoes and onions.  When you are ready to eat, flake the fish and put it all into a serving bowl.

Put out your favorite add ins....I opened a bag of slaw mix, some shredded cheese, sour cream and a sour cream and siracha mixture for those who like a little more spice.

Not only are these delicious but they are also very heart healthy and nutritious.  I adapted them slightly from a recipe found in Eating Well magazine.

  1. I haven't had a fish taco in FOREVER! I blame it on COVID...because that's usually something that I would get at a restaurant. Perhaps it's time to suck it up and make my own!

  3. I'm with Karen on this. Would never have thought of putting fish in a slow cooker. I do love fish tacos, and this would be totally doable for me.

  4. Once upon a time, my sister mentioned fish tacos to me (it was a long time ago) and I looked at her like she had two heads. Fish in tacos did not compute. I have since bought in! I love how easy your tasty dish is, Wendy!
