Method
Preparation of Fish
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth.
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Fish
Dip the fish fillets into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Preparation of Chipotle Aioli
Make the Aioli
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt to taste. Stir until well combined.
Assembling the Tacos
Assemble the Tacos
Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet. To each tortilla, add a few pieces of fried fish, top with shredded cabbage, a dollop of chipotle aioli, pickled red onion, and pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
