Ingredients
  • Ingredients for Fish Tacos:
  • 1 cup beer - I used Brooklyn Lager
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ pounds boneless tilapia
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 12 to 16 corn tortillas, crisped in a pan
  • cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Ingredients for Chipotle Dressing:
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • ½ cup adobo sauce from chipotle pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Fish Taco Recipe:
  2. In a bowl, whisk beer, flour, and salt until well blended. Rinse fish and pat dry; cut crosswise into ½ to 1 inch wide strips. Pour 1 inch of oil into a large skillet pan over medium-high heat. With tongs, dip each piece of fish into the beer batter; lift out and let drain briefly. Set fish into the oil, a few pieces at a time, and cook until golden brown. Turn to brown on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes per batch. With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Keep warm in a 200° oven while you fry remaining fish.
  3. To get the tortillas nice and crispy, place in small sauce pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook for about 1 minute, careful not to burn them! Keep warm in foil while you cook the remaining tortillas.
  4. For the slaw mix together the shredded cabbage, onion, tomato and cilantro. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice. To assemble each taco, top one tortilla with a spoonful of the slaw, then one to two pieces of fish and then slather with the chipotle dressing (if you like it spicy). Serve with lime wedges.
  5. Chipotle Dressing Recipe:
  6. To make the dressing, combine the sour cream and adobo sauce in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest and chili powder. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate until needed.
