Tacos de Pescado Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, letting excess batter drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble each taco by placing a few pieces of fried fish on a tortilla, topping with shredded Napa cabbage, a drizzle of chipotle mayonnaise, a dollop of crema, and crumbled queso fresco.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
