Spicy Tortilla Chip Coated Fish Chunks (from scratch)

Spicy Tortilla Chip Coated Fish Nuggets (from scratch)

Ingredients

  • 350g (12oz) cod (or any other fish)
  • 150g (3 cups) breadcrumbs (I made my own but you could use store-bought)
  • 20g (1 cup) spicy tortilla chips (crushed)
  • salt and pepper (to personal taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 120g (1 cup) flour
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Blitz the tortilla chips in a food processor and then add in the breadcrumbs, seasoning and spices and continue until everything is well-combined.
  2. Cut up the fish fillets into medium sized "chunks".
  3. Take three bowls: in one place the prepared breadcrumbs, in the second, beaten eggs, and in the third bowl, place the flour.
  4. One at a time, dip the fish first in the flour, then egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumb mixture. Set on a plate or baking tray.
  5. Fry in a tablespoon of oil until they are nice and golden. Serve immediately with a lovely salad, fries or jacket potatoes!
