    Seafood burritos

    We have always been a fan of fish tacos, but it was only when I spent some time in Southern California that I discovered a love of salmon burritos.

    The salmon was always grilled to perfection and the burritos were packed with a crunchy salad that a variation of a lettuce, avocado and tomato combo.

    One of the best parts of the salmon burrito for me was the creamy coriander sauce that usually came with it. Sometimes it had a kick of chilli in it and other times it was a nice cooling sauce. But I always got extra for dipping.

    Mexican salmon

    Salmon isn't something you usually see on Mexican menus, but I think it goes really well with all the Mexican seasoning. If you aren't a fan of salmon, then you could swap it for a white fish 0r prawns/shrimp, or use chicken or tofu instead.

    Burrito halves piled up next to a bottle of sauce and dish of salsa.

    Fish tacos

    Wrapping a burrito is an art, so if you don't fancy having this filling in a burrito, you could make it for fish tacos instead. Or, if you prefer to eat your meals with a knife and fork, then you could make this in to a burrito bowl and save yourself some mess.

    Mexican food can sometimes be a little heavy, but these salmon burritos are a nice and light meal that can be eaten in summer or winter. Some coleslaw would go really well in this too.

    Mexican seasoning

    You could save your self some time by buying a packed of Mexican seasoning, or you could make up a big batch yourself and keep it in a jar for future recipes.

    We usually make our own with equal parts cumin, ground coriander, garlic and onion powder and then half the amount of chilli powder and dried oregano. We use this for tacos and fajitas or even to give a grilled cheese sandwich a little flavour boost.

    Extra tips

    • You could make these salmon burritos a little more filling by adding some cooked brown rice or roasted sweet potato.
    • Add some spice to the creamy coriander sauce by blending some chipotle with it.
    • We don't tend to eat fish with cheese, but some crumbled feta would be really good with this.
    • Give these burritos a veggie boost by adding some roasted vegetables to the salad mix.
    • You could swap the salmon for a white fish or prawns, or use chicken or tofu instead.

      That looks delicious. Your mango salsa went down really well in our house, so I love that you have posted something else that I can put it in. I even had it on toast the other day :)
