2 tablespoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cut and prep the ingredients for the kohlrabi slaw and combine the kohlrabi, apples, cilantro, jalapeño, purple onions, tomatoes, and orange and lime zest in a big bowl. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, honey, rice wine vinegar and salt to taste then pour the mixture and stir into the kohlrabi cole slaw.

To make the blackened spice combine the spice ingredients, stir, and put into a container for later use.

To make the chipotle mayo combine chipotle pepper, mayo, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Prepare the mahi mahi by coating with a little olive oil and then covering the fish with the blackened spice mixture made above. Then on a hot skillet with a little olive oil cook the fish for about 4 minutes each side. Warm the tortillas and then combine the slaw, the fish (in chunks) and the chipotle mayo for some absolutely delicious tacos!
