Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the fish fillets into strips about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the water until you have a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish strip into the batter and then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few pieces of fried fish into each tortilla. Top with your choice of toppings like shredded cabbage, salsa, and avocado.
