Method

To make the black beans and corn, combine all ingredients in a medium size bowl, season and set aside until needed for your tacos.

For the salsa, place the avocado in a large bowl and roughly crush. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Season to taste.

Place the fish pieces in a bowl an sprinkle over the jerk seasoning and toss to coat.

Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the fish, in batches for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. The fish will go a deep golden colour with the spice mix. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel.

To serve, place the warm tortillas, black beans and corn, salsa and grilled limes on the table and let everyone dig in!
