NOTES

• I used basa fillets but any mild white fish will work for this recipe.
• Feel free to omit chili powder or adjust amount used according to your spice tolerance.
• For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or omit completely.
• Feel free to omit garlic and onion if they bloat you.
• You may use any tortillas that suit your dietary requirements (eg. corn, wholewheat, gluten-free etc.)
