Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and mayonnaise. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add the beer (or sparkling water) until the batter is smooth.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a piece of fried fish, add a generous scoop of cabbage slaw, a few slices of avocado, and drizzle with hot sauce if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
