Let's just say I completely rocked it in the kitchen!!! This was so easy to make and the taste was unbelievable. I have never tasted a fish taco anywhere that had this much flavor. The white sauce was so delicious.
I got this recipe from my friend Alexis. I believe she got it from Allrecipes.com. You can use any type of white fish I'm sure but the tilapia was amazing. My hubby was very quiet and the whole time he was eating all I heard was "mmmmm...mmmmm"...so I know it had to be good. We served it with lime wedges and a simple pico de gallo which complimented the flavor even more. Please try this dish, it was super simple...you will not be disappointed.
1 quart oil for frying
1 lb Tilapia or any type of white fish, cut into small strips
1 package corn tortillas
cabbage, shredded
Batter:
1 cup all purpose flour
2 Tbl cornstarch
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup beer
Sauce:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1tsp minced capers
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried dill
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
To make beer batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Blend egg and beer, then quickly stir into the flour mixture (may be a little lumpy)
To make white sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and mayo. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Sean with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill and cayenne.
Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy deep skillet.
Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into beer batter, and fry until crisp and golden bornw. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas, not too crisp. To serve, place fried fish in a tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, and white sauce.
They sound and look great! :-)

ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike because this is almost exactly what I had for dinner Sunday! The tilapia is a very tasty taco.
ReplyDeleteI finally made these for dinner last night with homemade rice and beans. D-lish. I will definitely make these again.
ReplyDeletefish tacos are one of my favorite food around, but i've never made them. i can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteFish tacos are a summer fave for me. These look so delicious - the fish looks crispy, the sauce looks creamy. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteThese tacos were awesome! I don't know how good I am at measuring but my gf complained a/b the sauce being a little on the spicy side. Otherwise it was great. Thanks Jaime and Jen!
ReplyDeleteI have used this recipe many times. Thanks to Jaime and Jen.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up around boats, being a Navy Veteran, former Yacht Captain & Sailboat racer, I have had sea food all over the world. This recipe never fails to make me, and others I have fed it to, smile. Thanks again!
tried your tacos last spring and came back looking for recipe again. It was sooo good!! Enjoying them in Phoenix!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and informative blog posting. Among all the fish, tilapia fish is Awesome! Tilapia fish farming is very profitable and easy. I like this fish very much for it's unique taste and nutritional value.
ReplyDeleteThank you for passing this along. I don't remember how or why I ran across your page years ago, but this has been my goto fish taco recipe ever since. I have friends from Tacoma, Washington (laughs... has 'taco' in the name... I know, that was lame ��) that visit and make it a requirement that I make these.
ReplyDeleteI can't leave a recipe alone, but I do stick to this one very close, using Guinness as the beer (does not have heavy taste when cooked). My friend's wife prepares a mango salsa that perfectly compliments this recipe with and without the sauce.
As this is where I found one of the greatest things that has ever danced around my taste buds, I had to return with thanks.
