Method:

Fish

 Preheat the oven to 200 ºC.

 Lay frozen Oven Crisp fillets onto a baking tray. Place into the oven to cook for 18-20 minutes until golden and crunchy. Alternatively cook in an air fryer for the recommended time.

Pickled Red Onions

Add the vinegar, sugar and salt into a bowl and mix to dissolve. Add the onions. Allow the onions to sit submerged for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

Avocado Crema

Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl, add the yoghurt, paprika, lime juice and zest and blitz using a hand blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper and then set aside. (Tip: If you are making ahead, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the top to prevent browning).

Crispy Tostadas

Heat the canola oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Carefully place a taco into the hot oil and fry for 30 seconds. (Tip: use a stainless steel slotted spoon to help hold the taco in the oil).

When crispy, remove the taco from the hot oil and drain on a sheet of kitchen towel. Repeat until you have fried all of the tacos.

To Serve

To assemble, put a dollop of avocado crema onto the tostada and smooth it to the edges. Top with a portion of Oven Crisp. Dress the tostadas with pickled onions, black beans, sweet corn, chillies and fresh coriander. Serve immediately.
