Ingredients (6 servings):
- 12 Cod or favorite whitefish fillets (1-1/2 oz ea.)
- 12 Tortillas, corn, as thick/fresh as possible
BEER BATTER:
- 1 c Flour
- 1 c Beer
- Garlic powder, pepper to taste
WHITE SAUCE:
- ½ c Mayonaise
- ½ c Yogurt
SALSA:
- 1 Garlic clove, peeled and minced
- 6 Tomatoes, ripe, peeled, seeded and diced
- ½ Onion, minced
- 2 tbs Cilantro leaves, chopped, stems removed
- 2 Jalapeno chiles, seeded and chopped
- 1 ½ ts Salt
- ¼ ts Pepper
- Oil for deep frying
GARNISH:
- 1 Head cabbage, green, shredded
- 1 Lime, cut into wedges
DIRECTIONS:
Mix flour with favorite spices such as garlic powder, red or black ground pepper. Stir the flour mixture into the beer and mix until well blended. Wash fish by dipping in cold, lightly salted water or water with a little bit of lemon juice added. Be sure fish is completely dry before dipping into batter. Prepare salsa; reserve.
Put the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and bring to 375°F. Place fish in a single layer–do not let pieces touch each other. Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown. Heat corn tortillas lightly in a skillet until they are soft and hot. To assemble, on each tortilla layer the fish fillet, white sauce, salsa, and cabbage. Top it off with a squeeze of lime. Fold tortilla over to serve.
