Method
- Make the tortilla dough by mixing together the Masa Harina with salt and then adding the hot water gradually until it comes to form a soft but not sticky dough (consistency of playdough) adding more water if needed
- Set the dough aside in a covered bowl to rest for 1 hour
- Make the salad by finely slicing the cabbage, red onion, coriander, parsley and capsicum
- Mix together and set aside
- Make the dressing by mixing all of the ingredients together in a bowl and place in the fridge until required
- Once the tortilla dough is rested, divide it into 12 even sized pieces and roll into balls
- If you have a tortilla press you can use it to press the balls into tortillas
- Alternatively place the ball in between two pieces of baking and roll out with a rolling pin
- Heat a pan on moderate to high heat, place a tortilla into the dry pan and cook for approx
- 1-2 minutes before turning over and repeating on the second side
- Once it is cooked wrap in a tea towel
- Continue this process with the remaining tortillas
- To cook the fish, season lightly with the cumin, salt and garlic powder
- Heat a pan on high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and place the fish in gently
- Cook until the fish is light golden brown and then turn and continue to cook until cooked through
- To serve, spread the dressing on one half of the tortilla, add a handful of salad and a fillet of fish
- Squeeze over some extra lime juice and enjoy!

*Masa Harina can be found at specialty food stores. It is made from dried corn kernels that are soaked in limewater, ground into masa and then dried. I used Bob’s Red Mill brand and it is gluten free.
