Beer & Chipotle Fish Tacos
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 700 grams white fish fillets, (1½ lbs)
- 1 bottle pale ale, (12 oz / 330 ml)
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 flour tortillas, 6 inch
- 1½ cups cabbage, shredded
- fresh tomatoes, chopped
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Cut the fish fillets into thin strips. White fish can be pangasius, cod, grouper, etc.
- Place fish strips in a shallow dish, pour beer over fish. Marinate 15-30 minutes then drain and discard beer.
- Heat the oil in a non stick pan on medium heat. In another shallow dish, add the cornmeal, chili powder, and salt, mix together.
- Coat fish strips with the cornmeal mixture, add fish to the pan but do not overcrowd.
- Fry 3-4 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork and is golden brown.
- Divide fish strips among the tortillas.
- top each tortilla with cabbage and tomatoes. Squeeze some lime juice over each tortilla.
- Serve with a lime wedge on the side. Enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
