Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is 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. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fish and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of crispy fish on each tortilla, followed by shredded cabbage, a drizzle of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they are still crispy. Enjoy with extra lime wedges on the side.
