Method

Prepare the Beer-Battered Cod

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add beer until smooth.

  2. 2

    Fry the Cod

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pot. Dip cod fillets into the batter, then carefully place in hot oil. Fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Sauces

  1. 3

    Tartar Sauce

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, dill pickles, lemon juice, capers, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 4

    Ancho Chipotle Sauce

    In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, ancho chili powder, lime juice, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Tacos

    Build the Tacos

    Warm corn tortillas in a skillet. Place fried cod in each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, drizzle with tartar sauce and Ancho Chipotle sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro.
