Maui Fish Tacos

Best Fish Tacos ever! This is a recipe from a place called "Maui Fish Tacos" - an awesome taco place on the island of Maui. We've been to Maui twice with family and these were the best, for sure! There's three secrets to make them!

Ingredients:
- Mahi Mahi (works the best)
- Pace Picante Sauce (or your favorite salsa)
- Cabbage
- Mayonnaise
- Tortillas (get some good ones...home-made if possible)
- Cheese (optional)
- Guacamole (optional)

Hot to do it: super easy!
1) Cook up the Mahi - I like to do it on the grill, but you can cook it in a pan of hot oil too. Just heat up the oil and "sear" it first, then cook it through. I usually season the fish with some generic seasoning salt.
2) Mix up the sauce: Mayo + Salsa...about 2 parts Salsa to 1 Part May; you want it kind of a "salmon" color.
3) Chop up your cabbage, grate your cheese, and if you want...prepare some Guacamole (but that will change the taste of the salt).
4) Serve open faced: 3 tortillas on a plate, add the sauce, then cabbage, then fish, then top it with the cheese and enjoy.

The secrets are the Sauce and the Cabbage - tips we got straight from the pros at the truck.

Mint Tea

This will be the best mint tea you've ever had. The best part? You only need two ingredients; mint leaves and water.

We have fresh mint growing in a pot (amazingly easy to grow - just buy a plant for $5, put it in a pot and there you have it). All you do for the tea is add some mint leaves to the boiling water. EASY!
