Fish Tacos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Red Onions

    In a small bowl, combine sliced red onions with vinegar and let them pickle for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Jalapeño Vinegar Slaw

    In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage, chopped jalapeño, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Toss well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold water until smooth.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip fish fillets into the batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place fried fish on each tortilla. Top with jalapeño vinegar slaw, pico de gallo, pickled red onions, and a drizzle of chipotle sour cream.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fish tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
