Method

Ingredients

To make the filling: Heat 30ml (2T) oil in a saucepan. Stir in the onion and red pepper, and cook gently until softened. Stir in the garlic and spices for barely a minute. Add the tomato, chilli and oregano, and cook, covered, for 20 minutes or until reduced and thickened.
Sear the seafood in 15ml (1T) hot oil for a few minutes, until just cooked. Add the seafood to the sauce. Stir in the feta and coriander leaves. Check seasoning.

To serve: Wrap the filling in warm tortillas and serve with guacamole.

TASTE’s take:
A soft wheat-flour tortilla wrapped around a filling is called a burrito. If a corn tortilla is used, it is known as a soft taco. As Mexico is a long, narrow country sandwiched between two oceans, seafood is plentiful and popular there.
