Instructions

For the slaw:

  • Add all ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.

For the crema:

  • Add all ingredients to a mini food processor and pulse until well combined and smooth.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, mash the avocados in a medium bowl. Mince the garlic and add to the avocado alongside the remaining ingredients. Mix until well combined (can be a little chunky!).

For the fish:

  • In a large pan, warm the avocado oil over medium-high heat.
  • While the oil is warming up, mix together the spices in a small bowl.
  • Coat the cod with the spice mixture on both sides of the fish.
  • Place in the hot pan and sear for about 3 minutes a side. The fish is cooked when it starts to flake.

To assemble:

  • Warm your tortilla up in a pan (about 15-20 seconds).
  • Place the tortilla on your plate and spread avocado crema on top.
  • Layer the cabbage slaw, fish and any other desired toppings.
  • Serve immediately.
