Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the fish fillets and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Batter

  1. 2

    Mix the Batter

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the beer (or sparkling water) and mix until smooth.

Fry the Fish

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  2. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Remove the fish from the marinade and dip each fillet into the batter. Carefully place fillets in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 6

    Build the Tacos

    Layer each tortilla with fried fish, shredded cabbage, cilantro, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and drizzle with hot sauce.

  3. 7
