Fish tacos are amazing. Funny though, we have taken such a heslthy food as fish, found a way to batter it in beer, stick it in a tortilla and fill it with sauce. We should be ashamed of ourselves!! Man, I would kill for 1 right now! Haha, seriously though, I can't help but Giggle at the irony of my 3 yr. old inhaling them while watching Finding Nemo!!
About 3 cups oil in large pot to deep fry $3.00
Fillet of mahi mahi or haddock or cod $6-10.00
1 bottle of bud light lime $1.00
appx. 2 c.flour*
1/2 tsp garlic salt*
1/2 tsp smoked paprika*
20 taco sized flour tortillas (you could make your own, but that's another post) $3.00
1/2 head of green cabbage ( shredded) $0.80
1 lime ( sliced) $0.30
pico de gallo:
4 roma tomatos $1.00
1 white or golden onion $0.25
1/3 bunch of cilantro $0.30
1 lime squeezed $0.30
1/3 tsp salt *
sauce:
1 c. sour cream $1.00
1 avocado $0.50
4 slices of pickled jalapeno $0.05
First, make pico de gallo by placing the ingredients in a food processor and pulse about 4 times. if you do not have a processor, you can just chop up the ingredients and then mix in bowl with salt and lime juice.
then, heat oil. slice about 3 inch strips of fish checking for bones, make sure the strips aren't too wide. If cut carefully, you could get a whole lot out of a large fillet. Shoot for 20 pieces. Place 1/3 c. of the flour in a plate, roll strips in flour set aside.
Make batter by mixing beer, 1 c. flour, garlic and paprika in a bowl. your batter shouldn't be too thick, just enough to coat your finger if dipped. Take strips and dip in batter, then cook about 4 at a time in oil about 3-4 mts.
finally, make sauce. blend sourcream, avocado and jalapeno in blender.
warm tortillas in microwave for about 30 seconds. Build taco.. sauce, cabbage, fried fish, pico and squeeze sliced lime and enjoy.
this will make appx 20 tacos..
so 5 steps:
slice fish
make batter
coat and fry fish
process pico
blend sauce
