Instructions
Tomato Salsa
- In a medium bowl, mix tomatoes, onion, garlic, coriander.
- Add chilli flakes to taste.
Fish
- Mix together the flour, chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and black pepper in a medium bowl.
- Pour the milk into another medium bowl, and place the fish into it to soak up the milk.
- Pour the peanut oil into a large frying pan and place over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is about to smoke.
- Remove fish from milk, and place in flour to lightly powder fish pieces with flour. Pat to remove excess flour.
- Place fish pieces in the pan with peanut oil. Cook until deep golden brown on one side — roughly 3 to 4 minutes. Turn carefully and cook for 1 minute more.
- Remove cooked fish to a clean plate lined with paper towels. Cut the fillet into even-sized strips.
Toppings
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sour cream. Season with lime, salt, pepper.
Final Taco Assembly

- Fill each tortilla with a strip of fish. Top with tomato salsa, shredded lettuce, sour cream, chilli sauce, and lime juice to taste.
