Method
Ingredients
Slice each fillet across into six strips. Mix with the spice, then dip into the sour cream and then into the nacho crumbs.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Refrigerate while preheating the oven to 220°C. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and just cooked.
Serve with the avocado sauce and lemon wedges, and the rice on the side.
Cook’s notes: Do the same with fish fillets. For a change, try Woolworths’ chicken fajita spice mix and use thick mayonnaise instead of sour cream. Add some chopped pickled jalapeños or fresh chilli to the avocado sauce.
