Ingredients

  • 450 gms (1 lb) White fish fillets
  • 240 mls (1 cup) All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 240 mls (1 cup) Beer
  • 8 Corn tortillas
  • 480 mls (2 cups) Shredded cabbage
  • 4 Lime wedges
  • 480 mls (2 cups) Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 240 mls (1 cup) Mayonnaise
  • 240 mls (1 cup) Sour cream
  • 2 Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 0.5 tsp Salt (for crema)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chipotle lime crema by blending mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic clove, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cut fish fillets into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add beer, whisking until smooth.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until thermometer reads 350°F (175°C).
  4. Dip fish pieces into the batter, letting excess drip off, and carefully place into hot oil. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of fried fish onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage and a generous drizzle of chipotle lime crema.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • These fish tacos are best served immediately to keep the crispy texture of the fish.
  • You can use any white, flaky fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia.
