Give brunch a crunch, with spicy, pan-seared fish tucked into crisp taco shells topped with an avocado, tomato and jalapeno chilli salsa.

Method 

For the salsa

Toss all the ingredients in a bowl and beat well. Set aside

For the tacos

Stack the shells upright in a baking pan and heat in a moderate oven for 5 minutes.
Dust the fish with the cayenne, cumin, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a fry pan and sear the fish on both sides until golden. Remove and break into small pieces. Fill each taco shell with rocket, then fish, then salsa and serve.
