Baja Fish Tacos - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb catfish nuggets or 1 lb other white fish, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup dark beer
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1/2 bunch cilantro
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix (optional)
vegetable oil, for deep fat frying
12 corn tortillas
Garnishes
finely shredded cabbage
chopped tomato
lime wedge
finely chopped onions or scallion
chopped cilantro
Preparation
-
Whisk together the flour, beer, and taco seasoning mix.
Wash catfish nuggets and pat dry with paper toweling.
In a food processor or blender, process for a few seconds sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and additional taco seasoning mix to taste.
You don't want to totally liquify the cilantro.
Prepare garnishes as you heat about 1/2\" of oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan to 360F.
Dip fish nuggets into batter and place in hot oil with a fork.
Turn once after about 1 minute and brown the other side for another minute.
Do this in batches.
Don't crowd the fish.
Drain on paper toweling and keep warm in a 200F oven until ready to serve.
Heat tortillas in foil in the oven or nuke them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.
