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.
