“Pescadillas is a traditional Mexican dish, originally from Acapulco, that showcases the vibrant flavours of coastal cuisine. When enjoying pescadillas, it’s common to squeeze a wedge of lime juice over to add a refreshing tang, as well as a side of Valentina sauce (a classic Mexican hot sauce, from specialist grocers – substitute your own favourite hot sauce) for those who like a bit of heat. These additions enhance the overall experience, bringing out the flavours of the fish and the accompanying ingredients while adding a zesty and spicy twist to the dish.” – Daniella Guevara Munoz.
