Mahi Mahi Burrito with Black Beans and Tangy Tomatillo Guacamole

Mahi-Mahi Rub:
  • 1 TB Garlic Powder
  • 1 TB Onion Powder
  • 1/2 TB Cumin (I crushed some cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle)
  • 1/2 TB Aleppo Pepper
  • Pinch of Sea Salt
  • Pinch of Coriander
  • 1 TB Peanut Oil
Mix the fish-rub ingredients in a small bowl. I used frozen Mahi-Mahi, so I thawed it according to the thawing directions on the package, rinsed the filets, patted them dry with paper towels, and cut them into 2-inch square pieces. Next, I coated them in the spice rub, put them in a Pyrex glass tupperware, and let them sit in the fridge for an hour.
Meanwhile, a few cloves of garlic and half an onion were sauteing in a pan with some olive oil. Next, I added one carrot (peeled and chopped), cooked on medium high for a few minutes, and then one can of drained and rinsed black beans. This cooked for 20 minutes or so, and then a chopped green pepper was added to the mix, as well a pinch of cumin and some fresh ground black pepper.
After the fish marinated, I broiled them for 5 minutes on each side, and served them in a burrito with the black beans and my Tangy Tomatillo Guacamole.

Tangy Tomatillo Guacamole

Tomatillos are all over the farmers market right now and they really compliment guacamole. Here’s a simple recipe.

Ingredients:
  • Avocado (how much guac do you want? I usually use 1-2, so plan on 2 for this recipe and scale it up if you need a big vat of guacamole)
  • 3-4 tomatillos
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeƱo, finely chopped (use the seeds if you like spice)
  • pinch of sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Aleppo pepper from Savory Spice Shop – you could substitute this with crushed red pepper flakes
  • juice from 1/2 lime
Scoop out your avocados and start to mash them. Peel the papery-leaf off of the tomatillos, wash them, and coarsely chop into small pieces. Then add all of the ingredients, one-by-one, mixing them along the way. Enjoy.
