Recipe Summary Baja Style Fish Tacos
I came up with this recipe after having fish tacos from a street vendor in Ensenada, Mexico. It is the closest to authentic I have found. Salsa can be made a day in advance for flavors to blend.Ingredients | Mustard Fish Curry Bengali Style6 tomatoes, diced1 small onion, diced½ cup chopped fresh cilantro2 tablespoons canned diced jalapeno peppers, or more to taste (juice reserved)½ teaspoon garlic salt½ lime, juiced3 cups coleslaw mix3 tablespoons ranch dressing2 cups vegetable oil for frying1 (9 ounce) box batter mix (such as Shore Lunch®)1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mexican beer24 corn tortillas1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend2 limes, sliced into wedges1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®) (Optional)DirectionsMix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, 1 tablespoon juice from jalapeno peppers, and garlic salt in a bowl; squeeze 1/2 lime over salsa fresca. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing fish.Toss coleslaw mix with ranch dressing in a bowl; set aside for flavors to blend.Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Stir batter mix and beer together in a bowl. Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels and set aside.Dip cod in the batter mix; fry coated cod in batches in the hot oil until cod is cooked through and coating is brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove cod with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.Microwave corn tortillas on high until warmed, about 1 minute.Stack two tortillas on a plate; top with fish, a sprinkle of Mexican cheese, coleslaw mixture, salsa fresca, and a squeeze from lime wedge. Drizzle with chile-garlic sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.Soaking your fish filets in cold salt water for 30 minutes before rinsing well and patting dry will eliminate any fishy smell or taste. I have used shredded cabbage in place of the bagged coleslaw too, but I find the flavor to be too strong. I think the bagged mix has had time to off-gas so it does not overpower the dish.The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients.
