white fish

🥗Healthier: salmon

💰Cheaper: pollock

Salmon is richer in omega-3 fatty acids, while pollock is a more budget-friendly option.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt offers more protein and fewer calories, while cream cheese can be a cheaper alternative.

1

Place your fish fillets over a plate or kitchen board, add 1 tsp of olive oil, sprinkle the Garlic and Guajillo Fajita & Taco Mix on top, add the zest and lime juice, a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then rub the quick marinade onto your fish with your hands and set aside.

2

Prepare a frying pan with the remaining oil, and once it is hot enough place the fish carefully over your pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Be careful not to overcook your fish, you want to achieve flaky, moist, tender fish. Once ready, remove from the heat and cover with a lid to keep it warm.

3

Quickly prepare your taco garnish by adding all the vegetables thinly sliced into a bowl (with the help of a mandolin or sharp knife). Roughly chop the coriander (plus stems) and add into the bowl. Squeeze the lime juice on top and pour in the vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, Chipotle Mayo, a good pinch of salt and freshly ground black coarse pepper. Mix everything with your hands or a spoon and reserve.

4

Get ready to serve your tacos. For that you need to warm up your Soft Taco Wraps, serve some of the lovely fish on top, and garnish with plenty of your crunchy salad. Finally add a spoonful of Chipotle Mayo on top of each taco, a good squeeze of lime and you are good to go!
