Crispy Catfish Taco Recipe

Crispy Catfish Taco Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Jalapeno-Lime Mayo

   In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and finely chopped jalapeno pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Catfish

   In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Dip the catfish fillets into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

   Coat the Catfish

   In another bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, and additional salt and pepper. Dredge the catfish fillets in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

   In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated catfish fillets and fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

   Warm the Tortillas

   In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.
