INSTRUCTIONS:


For the Tortillas

  1. Whisk together all ingredients and set to one side for 5 minutes whilst you heat your pan! A hot pan is key.
  2. Once the non stick pan is hot melt 1/2 tsp of coconut oil in, reduce the heat and pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of the batter in to the pan; it should spread all by itself but might need a little wiggle depending on how hot the pan is.
  3. The batter makes 3 small tortillas, 5-6 inches in diameter.
  4. Allow to cook for 3 -4 minutes before gently loosening the edges and flipping using a spatula. Cook for 1- 2 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a plate whilst you make two more.
  5. These can be made up to a day in advance and reheated in a pan or in the microwave when ready to serve.
For the Fish
  1. Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
  2. Place nuts in a pan over a medium heat and dry toast for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Slice fish in to thick strips (I made 4 large fingers, cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish).
  4. Dust with tapioca flour; whisk together egg and hot sauce. Dredge the fish in the egg mixture and roll in toasted nuts.
  5. Place on a baking paper lined baking tray, drizzle with melted coconut oil and bake in the preheated oven for 12 – 15 minutes.
  6. Mix together all salsa ingredients while the fish cooks.
  7. Serve fish in tacos topped with salsa and a good mound of freshly smashed and seasoned avocado.
