Fish Tacos

So first post in a long while. I love fish and Mexican food. So this was an ideal combination

Serves 2

4 Taco Shells
Lettuce, shredded
Approx 200g Sustainable white fish (Eg Haddock, Cod, Pollack), cut into strips
Salsa
Sour Cream
Guacamole
2 Slices of White Bread, Breadcrumbed (blitzed in the blender)
2 Eggs
3 tablespoons of White Flour
1 Lime cut into wedges
1 tsp Chilli Powder
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Cumin
Olive Oil

1. Put the breadcrumbs, flour and eggs onto separate plates.

2. Mix the chilli powder, cumin and ground coriander into the flour with some pepper.

3. With each bit of fish, dip it into the flour, then egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Put onto seperate plate to fry.

4. Heat oil in a pan on a high heat. You know the oil is hot enough when you drop a bit of breadcrumb into the pan and begins to cook straightaway. Place the fish into the pan to cook. I would recommend doing the fish in batches.

5. The times will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. But a rough guide would be 3-5 minutes and then turn to cook the other side, this should be a golden brown colour on the fish (not like the over cooked fish in the picture). Place the fish on kitchen roll to get rid of excess oil. 

6. To assemble the taco; take a shell, place lettuce and spoon on some salsa, guacamole and sour cream. Then place the breaded fish on top. Squeeze a bit of lime. Serve with rice, salad or refried beans.
