Baja Fried Fish Taco Ingredients
Preparation Directions
1. Prepare the Avocado Crema
In a blender, combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Make the Pico de Gallo
In a bowl, mix together the diced tomato, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
3. Prepare the Fish
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add the cold beer or sparkling water, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
4. Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Warm the Tortillas
While the fish is frying, heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until warm and pliable.
7. Assemble the Tacos
To assemble, place a piece of fried fish on a tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and a drizzle of avocado crema. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
