Fish Tacos Recipe

Directions for Preparing Fish Tacos

1. 1

   Prepare the Fish

   In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, and salt. Gradually add cold water until a smooth batter is formed. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

2. 2

   Fry the Fish

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the battered fish into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Make the Slaw

   In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

4. 4

   Prepare Chipotle Aioli

   In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet. On each tortilla, place a piece of crispy fried fish, a generous amount of slaw, and a drizzle of chipotle aioli. Top with chopped cilantro.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
