Borracho Taco Ingredients

Method

Borracho Taco Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, pickled jalapeños, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Toss well and set aside to marinate while you prepare the fish.

  2. 2

    Make the Beer Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the beer, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip the fish fillets into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off before carefully placing them in the hot oil. Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a piece of the fried fish on each tortilla, top with the pickled jalapeño cabbage slaw, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
