Notes

TIP: You can use 500g lean chicken breast fillets cut into thin strips instead of fish.You can use any firm white fish for this recipe, such as barramundi, ling, blue-eye trevalla or flathead.3 Key Mexican staples:1. Jalapeño chillies are very hot, green chillies so adjust according to taste. Find them bottled in brine in the Mexican food aisle. 2. Mexican chilli powder is a mix of cumin, paprika, chilli, oregano, cayenne pepper and garlic. Find it in the spice aisle. 3. Fresh coriander is a pungent lemony herb that looks similar to flat-leaf parsley. Find it in the fresh produce section.
