Tacos are a great way to get more vegetables into your diet and they’re quite cheap to make as the fish goes a long way!  

Makes 6 tacos – enough for 2-3 people  

 

Ingredients  
100-150g gurnard, cut into three pieces (can use any fish really)  
½ tsp sea salt  
2 tbsp flour  
1 tsp cumin seeds  
1 tsp each butter and oil  
6 small corn or flour tortillas  

Guacamole  
1 avocado  
A small handful of fresh coriander  
Lemon or lime juice  
Chilli (fresh or flakes) to taste  
Salt and pepper to taste  

To serve  
1 cup shredded lettuce (or cabbage, spinach, or grated carrot)  
1 tomato, diced (leave out if not in season)  
Fresh coriander  
Hot sauce  
A squeeze of lemon or lime juice  

 

Method 
Dust the fish pieces in sea salt, then in the flour and finally in the cumin seeds. Fry with oil and butter in a pan over medium heat.  
While the fish cooks, warm each tortilla in a dry pan. I do them in a stack and keep rotating and turning them, so they all get well warmed through.  
To make the guacamole, smoosh together (in a blender or by hand) the avocado, coriander, lemon or lime juice, chilli, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Thin with a little cold water, if you like, to get a smooth purée.  
To serve, smear each tortilla with guacamole, top with lettuce, then fish pieces, tomato, fresh coriander, and hot sauce. Squeeze over some lime juice. Fold and EAT!
