Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Combine your cornflour and 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] flour in a medium bowl with your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and 60ml [90ml] [120ml] cold water

Add a generous pinch of salt and whisk until a smooth, thick batter remains – this is your spicy batter

Step 1
2.

Chop your basa fillet[s] into bite-sized pieces

Step 2
3.

Add the basa pieces to the spicy batter and give everything a good mix up until well coated – this is your coated basa

Step 3
4.

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, reduce the heat to medium-high and add the coated basa to the pan

Cook for 6-7 min on each side or until golden, crispy and cooked through – this is your crispy fish

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? You may need to use 2 pans or do this in batches!

Step 4
5.

While your fish is cooking, slice your green chilli[es] finely

Wash then remove leaves (3 per person) from your lettuce and set aside, shred the inner core

Step 5
6.

Combine your mayo with half your white wine vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) and a generous pinch of salt in a medium bowl

Add the shredded lettuce and carrot & cabbage slaw mix and give everything a good mix up – this is your slaw

Step 6
7.

Combine your chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), remaining white wine vinegar and honey with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small heatproof bowl

Put the bowl in the microwave and cook for 20-30 secs or until the butter is melted

Give it a good mix up – this is your chipotle hot honey

Once the fish is cooked, add your tortillas to a plate and pop in the microwave for 20 secs on high or until warmed through

Step 7
8.

To assemble, divide the lettuce leaves and slaw between the warmed tortillas

Top each tortilla with the crispy fish and a generous drizzle of the chipotle hot honey – these are your baja-style fish tacos with chipotle hot honey

Garnish with the sliced chillies (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!)

Enjoy!
