Fish tacos 'Ensenada' recipe

That’s how it happened and this is the recipe. 2 chipotles en adobo, finely chopped 3 tbsp mayonnaise 3 tbsp soured cream½ lime, juice onlyflaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 chipotles en adobo, finely chopped 3 tbsp mayonnaise 3 tbsp soured cream ½ lime, juice only flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 large ripe tomatoes, deseeded and finely chopped½ onion, finely choppedhandful fresh coriander, roughly chopped1 green serrano or jalapeno chilli, finely chopped1 lime, juice only 2 large ripe tomatoes, deseeded and finely chopped ½ onion, finely chopped handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped 1 green serrano or jalapeno chilli, finely chopped 1 lime, juice only 1 litre/1¾ pints corn or vegetable oil300g/10½oz plain flour ½ tsp baking powder275ml/9½fl oz ice-cold lager600g/1lb 5oz cod fillet, preferable Icelandic, cut into chunks 1 litre/1¾ pints corn or vegetable oil 300g/10½oz plain flour ½ tsp baking powder 275ml/9½fl oz ice-cold lager 600g/1lb 5oz cod fillet, preferable Icelandic, cut into chunks 12 corn tortillas ½ small white cabbage, finely shredded1 avocado, dicedhot chilli sauce 12 corn tortillas ½ small white cabbage, finely shredded 1 avocado, diced hot chilli sauce Method To make the chipotle crema, mix the ingredients together with a pinch of salt in a small bowl and set aside.
