Method
Step 1
Begin by marinating the cod. Whisk the oil, chipotle powder or paste, ground cumin, smoked paprika and lime zest in a non-metallic container or shallow bowl then add the cod strips and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.Step 2
For the ‘slaw, add the cabbage, carrots, peppers, red onions, sugar snaps and coriander to a large bowl and toss together well. Cover and chill until required.Step 3
To make the guacamole, scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor with the lime juice, chilli, red onion, ground cumin, salt and Straight Up yoghurt and pulse until it’s a chunky but creamy-looking guacamole. Transfer to a small serving bowl.Step 4
To serve: Preheat the grill to a high setting and arrange the spicy cod fillets on a foil lined baking tray. Cook under the grill for 5-6 mins, turning once until cooked through. Remove and keep to one side. You can either warm the tortillas in a microwave or they can be sprinkled with a little water and placed under the grill briefly. To assemble, spread each tortilla with a small spoonful of Straight Up yoghurt and lime guacamole, top with a small handful of ‘slaw followed by 2 fillets of spiced cod. Dollop a little more Straight Up yoghurt and lime guacamole and scatter over the coriander leaves. Add a squeeze of lime, fold the tacos in half you are good to go, serve any remaining ‘slaw on the side.
