Description

Delight in the crunch of golden-battered fish tucked in soft tortillas, topped with fresh slaw and zesty sauce—perfect for any gathering!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cold water
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (or a mix with carrots)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 2 limes

Instructions

  1. Pat fish fillets dry and cut into strips about two inches wide.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually add cold water until you achieve a smooth batter.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers (about 350°F).
  4. Dip each fish strip into the batter, letting excess drip off, then fry in hot oil until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).
  5. Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable.
  6. Layer crispy fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, and drizzle with sour cream or yogurt.
  7. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over tacos.
