Ingredients
½ large purple cabbage, finely shredded
Juice of one lime
Large handful coriander leaves, shredded
1 cup tinned corn, drained and rinsed
900g. firm white fish, boned and cut into two-centimetre cubes.
¼ cup wholemeal flour
3 tsp turmeric powder
1 ½ tsp garlic powder
1 ½ tsp cayenne
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste.
To Serve
18 wheat tortillas
2 large avocados, mashed
Lime wedges
Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Place the shredded cabbage in a mixing bowl and pour over the lime juice. Use clean hands to massage the cabbage — this will soften it a bit — before tossing through the shredded coriander and the corn kernels. Place the coleslaw to one side.
- In a mixing bowl, coat the fish with the flour, as well as the turmeric, garlic, and cayenne powders.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan or skillet over a medium-high heat. Allow it to get nice and hot before adding the fish and cooking for 3-5 minutes, turning pieces regularly, until cooked through.
- To serve, take a tortilla and add some mashed avocado. Top with plenty of the coleslaw, some fish, and then squeeze over some lime juice and add a little hot sauce if you’re using it.
