Battered White Fish Tacos Recipe
Ingredients
- For the Fish:
- 1 pound white fish (like cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beer (or sparkling water for a non-alcoholic option)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- For the Cilantro Lime Crema:
- 1 cup sour cream
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Toppings:
- Diced onions
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish:
- Start by cutting the fish into strips. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until you have a smooth batter.
- Fry the Fish:
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Dip each fish strip into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Cilantro Lime Crema:
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Warm your taco shells. Place a few pieces of fried fish in each shell, then top generously with diced onions, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of the cilantro lime crema.
- Serve:
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for that extra zing. Enjoy your tacos with a refreshing drink and good company!
