Time 45m

Yield 2 as a dinner, or 4 as a light lunch

Number Of Ingredients 20

125g self-raising flour
1 garlic clove , grated
1 lime , zested
½ tsp white pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
200ml chilled pale ale or lager
2 ripe, firm avocados , peeled and quartered
4 corn tortilla
4 tbsp coconut oil
4 radishes , finely sliced
½ white or hispi cabbage , sliced
½ red onion , sliced
handful coriander leaves, plus extra to serve
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar or honey
½ tsp chipotle paste
small garlic clove , sliced
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ lime , juiced
4 tbsp soured cream

Steps:

  • First, make the batter. Mix the flour, garlic, lime zest, white pepper, cumin and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the beer until you have a smooth batter, then set aside until needed.
  • For the slaw, combine the radishes, cabbage, red onion and coriander in a bowl. Whisk the vinegar, sugar or honey and a pinch of salt in another bowl. Pour over the veg, toss thoroughly and set aside.
  • To make the crema, put all the ingredients in a blender or mini chopper and blitz until smooth.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan with high sides. Drop in some batter after a few mins - if it sizzles and turns golden brown quickly, the oil is ready. Dip the avocado slices in the batter, shake off the excess and fry, one or two at a time for 30 secs or until lightly golden and crispy. Remove from the oil, drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.
  • Warm the tortillas on both sides for 1-2 mins in a griddle or non-stick frying pan, then divide the slaw between them. Top with the avocado, drizzle over the crema and garnish with coriander leaves.
