  • 2 Tablespoons Butt Kickin' Blacken, Southwest Blend
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 16 Ounces Monterey Jack Cheese, grated
  • 8, 8" Flour Tortillas

1. Prepare the mahi by first washing and drying it well. Remove the blood strip, then slice into 1/2" x 1 1/2" strips. Coat with the Blacken.

Place the oil and butter in a Teflon pan and melt over high heat. When the butter has melted, Add the meat, and cook until done, about 5 minutes. Don't overcook the meat, or it will become dry and fall apart.
