For the Tacos

Method

Preparing the Beer-Battered Cod

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the beer until the mixture is smooth and has no lumps.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it's ready.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 5

    Build the Tacos

    On each warm tortilla, layer some shredded lettuce, a few pieces of beer-battered cod, a generous spoonful of pico de gallo, and drizzle with jalapeno aioli.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while still warm, garnished with additional pico de gallo or jalapeno aioli if desired.
