Fish Tacos Recipe

Fish Tacos Directions

1. 1

   Make the Batter

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add the cold water until the batter is smooth and thick.

2. 2

   Prepare the Fish

   Cut the fish fillets into strips. Dip each strip into the batter, ensuring it is well coated.

3. 3

   Fry the Fish

   In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered fish strips in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Make the Slaw

   In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine and set aside.

5. 5

   Make the Lime Crema

   In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

6. 6

   Assemble the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet. On each tortilla, layer some cabbage slaw, a few pieces of crispy fish, and drizzle with lime crema. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
