- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Mexican beer ( Modelo Negra, Corona, or Dos Equis)
Green Cabbage Slaw

- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 to 2 limes, to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Fish Tacos
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs cod, cut into 4 x 1/2 inch strips
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 24 white corn tortillas (taco size)
For Toppings
- Diced Roma tomatoes
- Finely chopped cilantro
- Avocado slices
- Green cabbage slaw (recipe below)
- Lime wedges
- Avocado crema
Instructions
- Make the avocado crema per link’s instructions. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
- Make the batter: mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the beer, until no lumps are formed. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the green cabbage slaw: toss shredded green cabbage, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a 3-quart Dutch oven to cover about 2 inches of the pot. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
- Season fish with salt and pepper. Dredge fish in flour, shaking off any excess flour. Working in batches, dip each piece of fish into the beer batter. Deep-fry in the hot oil (350 degrees F) for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- To assemble the tacos: Heat tortillas on open flame or microwave (see notes under Kitchen Tips). Double-up each tortilla. Place fish on tortillas. Top with the green cabbage slaw, tomatoes, cilantro, avocado slices. Drizzle with the avocado crema.
- Serve immediately. Serve with lime wedges.
