  • 8 medium sized soft tortillas
  • 4 – 5 iceberg lettuce leaves, shredded
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, destoned and flesh diced
  • Handful chopped coriander
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

For the tempura batter mix:

  • 100g cornflour
  • 50g plain flour
  • 100ml sparkling water
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix together the tempura ingredients and set aside
  2. Meanwhile, bring a heavy bottomed pan filled with vegetable oil to a high heat

  4. Dip each piece of fish into the batter mix and gently place into the hot oil
  5. Fry gently for 2 minutes, turning the fish over during frying
  6. Transfer to a plate covered with paper towel, to absorb excess oil
  7. Warm the tortillas on a heated griddle pan, then fill with the shredded lettuce, avocados, sweetcorn relish and fish
  8. Top with chopped coriander and serve with lime wedges

To make the sweetcorn relish:

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree that’s all.
