We never ate Mexican food growing up; Australia doesn't have the cultural heritage. But here in California Mexican food is everywhere. Here are our recipes for fish tacos, salsa and guacamole (Jane).

4. When fish is cooked, slice into thin-ish pieces. 5. Put everything on the table - and make your own with the most of whatever you like! Optional extra: serve with some chipotle rice!
