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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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!
