In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, chipotle pepper, and salt until smooth. Set aside. - Make the Slaw:
In a large bowl, combine slaw mix, cilantro, jalapeño, diced avocado, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to mix well. - Grill the Mahi Mahi:
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated Mahi Mahi fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through with grill marks. Once done, cool slightly and break into smaller pieces. - Assemble the Tacos:
Warm tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds on each side until slightly charred. Place grilled Mahi Mahi on each tortilla, top with slaw, and drizzle with sauce. Serve with lime wedges for extra zest.
