Method

Spiced fish tacos with slaw & avocado cream

  • 1 Cut the fish fillets lengthways on the diagonal into 1.5cm wide, 12cm-long strips.

  • 2 In a medium bowl, combine fish, allspice, thyme, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, garlic powder and oil. Season. Cover; refrigerate until required.

  • 3 Blend or process avocado, sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Season to taste.

  • 4 In a large bowl, combine cabbage, coriander, onion, chilli, orange juice and garlic. Season to taste.

  • 5 Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium; heat tortillas, in batches, 15 seconds each side. Wrap tortillas in foil to keep warm.

  • 6 Increase heat to high; cook fish in same pan, in two batches, 4 minutes or until just cooked.

  • 7 Serve warm tortilla filled with fish and slaw, topped with avocado cream.

Notes

The fish can be prepared 4 hours ahead to the end of step 1. Avocado cream and coleslaw (without the orange juice) can also be prepared 4 hours ahead; add juice to coleslaw just before serving.
