Instructions

   Start by preparing the fish. In a small bowl, combine the black pepper powder, lemon juice, and salt. Rub this mixture onto the basa fish fillets and let them marinate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Prepare the Salsa:
   While the fish marinates, prepare the salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped tomato, onion, coriander (dhania) leaves, and green chili. Mix well, then set aside to let the flavors blend together.

3. Make the Yogurt Sauce:
   In a separate bowl, mix the hung curd (Greek yogurt) with the Italian seasoning, adding a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir well to combine and set aside.

4. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 400°F) and let it heat for 5 minutes.

5. Grill the Fish:
   Place the marinated fish on skewers, ensuring they are securely held in place. Brush the fish with a little sunflower oil to prevent sticking. Grill the fish in the oven for about 20 minutes or until it is fully cooked and slightly golden.

6. Assemble the Wraps:
   While the fish is grilling, heat the whole wheat tortilla for a few seconds on a pan to soften it. Place the warm tortilla on a plate.

7. Build the Wrap:
   Begin by spreading a layer of fresh iceberg lettuce in the center of the tortilla. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared salsa on top of the lettuce. Next, layer the grilled fish fillets over the salsa.

8. Add Yogurt Sauce:
   Spoon 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce over the grilled fish. The creamy sauce will provide a cool, tangy contrast to the warm, spicy fish.

9. Roll and Serve:
   Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to encase the fillings. If the wrap is too large, cut it in half for easier handling. Serve immediately with extra salsa and a side of yogurt sauce for dipping.

10. Optional Side Dishes:
    For a complete Mexican meal, serve your Mexican Low-Fat Fish Wraps with a side of Spicy Mexican Salsa Verde and a refreshing glass of Pomegranate Mint Cocktail for the perfect weekend dinner.

Tips for the Perfect Fish Wrap

• Fish Choices: While basa fish works great for this recipe, feel free to swap with tilapia, cod, or any firm white fish you prefer.
• Make it Spicy: Add more green chilies or a dash of hot sauce to kick up the heat in your salsa.
• Wrap Variations: For extra flavor, try using spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps instead of the whole wheat tortilla.
• Make it Ahead: You can prepare the salsa and yogurt sauce ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to a day. This will save you time when you’re ready to assemble the wraps.

Mexican Low-Fat Fish Wraps offer a delightful combination of healthy ingredients, zesty flavors, and satisfying textures that make them a perfect choice for a nutritious lunch or dinner. With a balance of protein from the fish, fiber from the veggies, and a creamy yogurt sauce to tie everything together, these wraps are as delicious as they are guilt-free!
