Cooking instructions

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

1.

Boil half a kettle

Combine your chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and tomato paste in a bowl – this is your spiced tomato paste

Step 1
2.

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

Once hot, add the spiced tomato paste to the pan with 150ml [225ml] [300ml] boiled water and season with a generous pinch of salt

Cover with a lid and cook for an initial 7-10 min or until the sauce has reduced slightly

Step 2
3.

Meanwhile, chop your basa fillet[s] into bite-sized pieces

Sprinkle your ground cumin, ground coriander and a large pinch of salt over the chopped basa and gently rub the spices all over the fish

Step 3
4.

Trim, then slice your spring onions finely

Wash your lettuce, pat it dry with kitchen paper and roughly shred

Grate your cheddar cheese

Step 4
5.

Once the sauce has reduced, add the chopped basa to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4-5 min further or until the fish is cooked through – this is your chipotle spiced basa

Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily

Step 5
6.

Whilst the basa is cooking, combine your mayo with a squeeze of lime juice and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil in a bowl – this is your lime mayo

Step 6
7.

Add your tortillas to a plate and pop them in the microwave for 20 secs on high or until warmed through

Slice the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Step 7
8.

Divide the shredded lettuce, sliced spring onion, chipotle spiced basa, grated cheese and lime mayo evenly between the warmed tortillas

Garnish with a lime wedge

Enjoy!
