Ingredients

  1. 500g salt and pepper squid
  2. 4 small tortillas
  3. 1/2 red cabbage (thinly sliced)
  4. 1 large carrot (julienned)
  5. Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
  6. 1 avocado (sliced)
  7. Lime wedges (for serving)
  8. 3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  9. 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Method

  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer according to the package instructions for the salt and pepper squid. Cook the squid until golden and crispy, then set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the sweet chilli sauce and mayonnaise together until smooth. This will serve as the dressing for your slaw.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced red cabbage, julienned carrot, and chopped cilantro. Pour the sweet chilli dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds each, until soft and pliable.
  5. Lay each warm tortilla flat and add a generous portion of the crispy salt and pepper squid to the center.
  6. Top the squid with a heap of the sweet chilli slaw and add a few slices of fresh avocado for creaminess.
  7. Sprinkle with extra chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious squid tacos with sweet chilli slaw!

Chef's Tip

For the best squid tacos, cook the salt and pepper squid until just golden and crispy so the coating stays light while the squid remains tender inside. Warm tortillas are essential, helping keep the tacos soft and flexible while holding the crunchy filling securely. The creamy sweet chilli slaw balances the savoury squid perfectly, while fresh lime and avocado add brightness and richness that lift the entire dish. Assemble the tacos just before serving so every bite stays crisp, fresh, and full of texture.
