Fried Fish Tacos Ingredients

Method

Fried Fish Tacos Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in cold beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth. Pat fish fillets dry, then dip in batter.

  2. 2

    Fry the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the battered fish fillets in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Pineapple Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Chipotle Crèma

    In another bowl, mix sour cream and chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm flour tortillas and layer with shredded cabbage, fried fish, pineapple salsa, and drizzle with chipotle crèma. Serve with tortilla chips on the side.
