Cooking Steps

1

Slice the cucumber into 0.5cm batons. Slice the lime into wedges. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Slice the white fish fillets into 2cm strips.

2

On a plate, mix the Tex-Mex spice blend, plain flour, the salt and a pinch of pepper. Add the white fish strips and turn to coat in the spiced flour then set aside on a clean plate. TIP: Pat the fish dry before crumbing to help the flour form an even coating.

3

Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish and cook for 2 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.

4

Whilst the fish is cooking, heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.

5

In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people) and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper then toss to combine.

6

Bring everything to the table to serve. Build your tacos by spreading some smokey aioli over the tortilla, then top with some slaw, fish and cucumber batons. Serve any extra slaw on the side with the lime wedges.
