Beer Battered Fish Taco

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado Crema

    In a blender, combine the avocado, sour cream, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and season with salt to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Beer Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the beer, mixing until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the fish.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the fish fillets into strips. Pat them dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each fish strip into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few pieces of fried fish on each warmed tortilla. Top with pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, and a drizzle of avocado crema. Serve immediately.
