Method:
- Bring a small pot of water to the boil and cook the corn for 3 minutes.
- Drain and cool the corn under cold water.
- To make the salsa, mix the cooked corn with red onion, coriander and lemon juice and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Mix the Cajun spice mix and flour in a bowl and press the fish fillets into it to coat all sides.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan and fry the fish in two or three batches for approximately 1 minute on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the tortillas in a microwave for 30 seconds.
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean benchtop and top with the shredded lettuce, corn salsa, fish, avocado, yoghurt and garnish with chilli. Fold over and serve
Tips:
- You can also use canned corn if fresh or frozen are not available. Drain and rinse the corn and skip to the 3rd step in the recipe.
- Rather than pre-filling these tacos, you could also place all the fillings in bowls and have everyone fill their own.
- The tortillas can be heated in a microwave or oven. If heating in an oven, first wrap them in tin foil to stop them drying out.
- Cooking the fish in batches will prevent the pan from overcrowding which can lower the heat of the pan resulting in fish that doesn’t brown.
