Ingredients

Servings 1
  • 2 Corn tortillas
  • 240 g White fish fillet
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • ½ Lime
  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 70 g Cabbage (optional)
  • 40 g Tomato (optional)
  • 1 Jalapeno (optional)
  • 12 g Cilantro (optional)

Method

  1. Cut the fish into thick fingers, pat them dry and toss with the cumin and salt.
  2. Shred the cabbage very fine, dice the tomato and jalapeno, chop the coriander, and dress the lot with the juice of half the lime and a pinch of salt. Leave it to sit and soften slightly.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan over high and cook the fish for 4 minutes, turning once, until it is opaque through and browned at the edges. Break it into large pieces in the pan.
  4. While the fish cooks, warm the corn tortillas one at a time in a dry pan, about 30 seconds a side, and stack them under a cloth so they steam each other soft.
  5. Bring the fish, the warm tortillas, the cabbage salad and the remaining lime to the table and let everyone build their own tacos — assembled early they go soggy.
