Ingredients

For 4 servings

  • 600 g cod fillet
  • 170 g white rice
  • 4 flour tortilla
  • 200 g green cabbage
  • 60 g mayonnaise
  • 30 ml lime juice
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 15 ml vegetable oil
  • 45 ml water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients, allowing 9 minutes: finely shred the cabbage. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice and half the chilli powder. Use four large, ready-to-eat flour tortillas, approximately 30 cm wide and 80 g each.

  2. 2

    Cook the white rice according to the package directions.

  3. 3

    Pat the raw boneless cod dry and cut into roughly 2 cm pieces. Season with the remaining chilli powder, cumin and salt.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a deep 30 cm skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the cod in a single layer and cook uncovered for 3 minutes. Turn gently and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until a food thermometer inserted into the thickest pieces reads 63°C. Transfer to a plate.

  5. 5

    Reduce the same skillet to medium heat. Add the cooked white rice and 45 ml water, breaking apart any clumps. Cover and heat for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Uncover and stir for another 1–2 minutes, until the rice reaches 74°C throughout and no free liquid remains.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat and gently fold the cooked cod and its juices into the hot rice. Allow 3 minutes to assemble: divide the lime-chilli mayonnaise, crunchy cabbage and fish-rice mixture between the ready-to-eat tortillas. Fold in the sides, roll tightly into four burritos and serve immediately.
