Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, coating completely.

  2. 2

    Fry the Fish

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered fish fillets and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, lightly grill the soft tortillas on both sides until warm and pliable.

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer with guacamole, crispy fish, coleslaw mix, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Top with sliced green onions and drizzle ranch dressing over the top.

Serve
