I came up with this Baja-style fish taco recipe after eating fish tacos from a street vendor in Ensenada, Mexico. The salsa can be made a day in advance for the flavors to blend.
Ingredients
- 6 medium tomatoes , diced
- 1 small onion , diced
- 0.5 cups chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons canned diced jalapeño chile peppers , juice reserved
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic salt
- 0.5 medium lime , juiced
Instructions
-
1
Combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños, 1 tablespoon jalapeño juice, and garlic salt in a bowl. Pour lime juice over top. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until needed.
-
2
Toss coleslaw mix and ranch dressing together in a bowl; set aside until needed.
-
3
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
4
Combine beer and batter mix in a bowl. Dip cod into batter to coat.
-
5
Lower cod carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until cooked through and coating is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining cod.
-
6
Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels. Microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute.
-
7
Stack 2 tortillas on a plate; top with cod, Mexican cheese, coleslaw mixture, and tomato salsa. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over top; drizzle with Sriracha. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cod, cheese, coleslaw mixture, tomato salsa, lime wedge, and Sriracha.

Italian Sausage and Mushroom Lasagna with Béchamel Sauce
The béchamel adds a little something special to this wonderful sausage-mushroom lasagna. I like using part-skim ricotta, mozzarella, and low-fat milk to cut some of the fat in this dish. You won't notice the difference.
Fish and Potato Casserole
Layers of potatoes, fish, and fresh spinach are covered in a homemade bechamel sauce and sprinkled with two kinds of cheese in this hearty fish and potato casserole.
Chef John's Party Cheese Puffs
These beautiful cheese puffs, gougeres, are as easy as they are delicious. Usually Gruyere cheese is used but I had some very sharp farmhouse Cheddar cheese in the fridge, so I decided to use that. As long as you are using a very sharp, full-flavored cheese I don't think you can go wrong. I love gougeres with Gruyere, but I think the extra-sharp Cheddar was just as good.
