Fish

Tortillas

Method

Chipotle Mayo

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chipotle Mayo

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

Fish

  1. 2

    Prepare the Fish Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add cold water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

  2. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 6

    Build the Tacos

    Place a few pieces of crispy fish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and a generous drizzle of chipotle mayo. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
