Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Gradually whisk in the ice-cold water until a smooth batter forms. Preheat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Fry the Fish

    Dredge the fish fillets in the batter and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the fish is frying, warm the corn tortillas in another skillet or in the microwave until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a piece of fried fish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and drizzle with chipotle mayo.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
