Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.

Method

1. Season the cajun spice and cayenne pepper on a plate, then press the fish fillets into the mixture until well coated on all sides.
2. Warm the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and add the fish. Fry until golden on the base.
3. Turn the heat down and keep cooking until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes in total. Work in batches if the pan is crowded.
4. While the fish cooks, stir the sour cream with the garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice, and season to taste.
5. Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave, 5-10 seconds, until pliable.
6. Lay out the tortillas and fill with avocado, shredded lettuce and spring onion.
7. Spoon salsa over each one, then break the fish into large flakes and pile on top.
8. Finish with a drizzle of the sour cream dressing and serve at once.
