A mackerel taco recipe combines textures and flavours – crisp battered fish, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with a spicy tomato sauce, yogurt-mayo dressing and crunchy cabbage.

Ingredients

6 tbsp mayonnaise

4 tbsp full-fat yogurt or soured cream

Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

8 flour tortillas

2 large mackerel, filleted and pin-boned (use tweezers to do this)

¼ small white cabbage, very thinly sliced on a mandoline

1 lime, cut into wedges

Small bunch of fresh coriander sprigs

For the beer batter

100g plain flour

½ tsp baking powder

200ml Mexican beer

For the tomato and chilli salsa

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2-3 red or green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped (it’s meant to be quite spicy)
