Serve on warm tortillas, and you've got a winning combination of bold flavours and healthy ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 Giant Boarfish fillets, cut into pieces
- 2 chorizo sausages, sliced diagonally
- 1 salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Salsa: In a small bowl, combine the diced red onion, spring onions, chopped coriander, fresh chilli, cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a fresh salsa.

- Warm the Tortillas: In a dry pan, warm the tortillas on both sides until soft and slightly charred.
- Assemble the Tacos: On each warmed tortilla, layer chopped spinach and kale, followed by the fried chorizo and Boarfish pieces. Top with the fresh salsa and a drizzle of Japanese mayo.
