Method

1 To make herb salsa, put coriander, parsley, garlic, shallots, lime juice and zest, olive oil and sugar into a small food processor. Pulse for 30 seconds or until a chunky sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper. If you would like a thinner sauce, simply add 1 tsp of cold water at a time until desired consistency is reached. Set aside in the fridge.
2. Put fish fillets on a plate and sprinkle top of fillets with taco seasoning. Put extra oil in a large frying pan and heat over high heat. Add fish and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cut into thick strips.
4. Meanwhile, combine tomato, corn and avocado in a medium bowl.
5. Scatter lettuce down the centre of each round of bread, top with fish, avocado mixture, a drizzle of tomato salsa, dollop of sour cream and drizzle of herb salsa.
