Cooking Steps

PICKLE THE RED ONION
1

Thinly slice the red onion (see ingredients list). In a small bowl, combine the red onion, white wine vinegar, water (for the pickle), sugar and salt (for the pickle). Stir well to coat the onion in the liquid and set aside. Drain the liquid just before serving. TIP: If you don’t like pickled onion, feel free to just thinly slice and pan-fry it for 3-4 minutes after cooking the fish in step 4.

GET PREPPED
2

Cut the white fish fillets into 2 cm strips. Shred the cos lettuce. Finely chop the cucumber.

MAKE THE MAYONNAISE DRIZZLE
3

In a small bowl, combine the coconut chilli mayonnaise and the water (for the sauce). TIP: Adding the water will loosen the mayo to make it easier to drizzle.

COOK THE FISH
4

On a plate, mix the Mexican Fiesta spice blend, plain flour and salt (for the fish) and season with a pinch of pepper. TIP: If you’d like less heat, substitute some of the spice blend for more flour! Add the white fish fillet strips and turn to coat in the spiced flour. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. TIP: Ling is a firm fish, we've chosen it as it doesn't break up much in the pan! TIP: The fish is cooked through when it turns from translucent to white.

HEAT THE TORTILLAS
5

Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.

SERVE UP
6

Serve everything on the table. Build your tacos by adding some cos lettuce and fish to a tortilla. Add the diced cucumber and pickled onion and drizzle over some of the creamy coconut chilli mayonnaise.
