Crispy Baja Style Beer Battered Fish Tacos

Crispy Baja Style Beer Battered Fish Tacos

Delightful tacos filled with crispy beer-battered fish, fresh toppings, and zesty flavors.

  • Total Time: 35

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup beer (lager works best)
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for frying vegetable oil
  • soft corn tortillas
  • shredded cabbage
  • diced tomatoes
  • sliced avocados
  • Lime wedges
  • Your favorite salsa or sauce

Instructions

  • Start by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the batter stick better.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Slowly pour in the beer, whisking until you have a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to submerge the fish.
  • Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.
  • Carefully place the battered fish in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Once cooked, remove the fish and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
  • Assemble your tacos by placing a piece of crispy fish on each tortilla, then topping with cabbage, tomatoes, and avocado.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lime and your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
