Fish tacos

Meal type: Main meal

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes

  1. Cut the cod into finger-size strips. Mix the spices with half the lime juice and 1 tsp of the vegetable oil. Drizzle over the fish and mix until well coated. Set aside while preparing all the other ingredients.
  2. Mix the remaining lime juice with the thinly sliced red onion and set aside. Chop the tomatoes, slice the avocado, and shred the lettuce.
  3. Mix the yogurt with a little chilli (to taste), the garlic and a little black pepper.
  4. Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in a frying pan, then fry the fish for 3 to 4 minutes until it flakes easily. Flip the fish over halfway through.
  5. Spread the tortillas with the yogurt, top with the onions, tomatoes, avocado and lettuce, then add the fish and serve immediately with the coriander (if you like this herb).

How we made it healthier

Our recipe uses 0%-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to keep the saturated fat content down. Wholemeal tortillas bring the benefit of added fibre, while the spices in the marinade mean there's no need to add salt to the fish.
