Aleid's Mexican Fish Roll-up Tortillas

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 500 g fish fillets (either fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sambal tjampoer (or 1/4 teaspoon any very hot chili sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons soya sauce (extra,to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 cup coconut meat (large chunks of coconut) (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 8 large tortillas
  • grated cheese, for topping

Recipe

  • 1 sauté the onion in the olive oil in pan, add the soy sauce, sambal and sweet and sour sauce.
  • 2 add the fish and simmer for 15 minutes, add more soy sauce according to preference and the dissicated coconut and the coconut meat (if used).
  • 3 simmer for several minutes more (the sauce should have reduced somewhat and the whole mixture be cooked and not too liquid at all).
  • 4 put spoonfulls into the middle of tortilla's and roll them up, tucking in the ends as you go to make little parcels.
  • 5 line up the packages in an oven dish, sprinkle grated cheese over the top, put into a hot oven (200 c) for about 20 minutes until hot.
  • 6 *note*these can be made the day before and heated the next day, but you'll need to allow more time in the oven.
  • 7 serve with fresh crisp salad and rice.
  • 8 *note*here in the netherlands there are many different sambal's available, and now i often see them in the indonesian section of overseas supermarkets.if you can't get it i think that most hot pepper/chilli sauces could be used as substitute. yes, you can make this mild enough for the kids to eat too!
