Taco de Pescado Ingredients

Method

Taco de Pescado Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Dip the fish fillets in the egg mixture, then dredge through the flour mixture until well coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated fish fillets and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each warm tortilla, place a piece of crispy fish, top with shredded cabbage, and drizzle with salsa verde. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
