Description
Crispy Fish Tacos with Chipotle Sauce are a delightful culinary adventure that combines crispy fish, fresh toppings, and a zesty chipotle cream, creating a symphony of flavors.
Ingredients
- 🐟 White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) – 500 grams (about 1 lb)
- 🌽 Corn tortillas – 8 small
- 🥬 Cabbage – 2 cups, finely shredded
- 🥑 Avocado – 1, sliced
- 🌶️ Chipotle sauce – 1/4 cup
- 🍋 Lime – 1, juiced
- 🌿 Cilantro – 1/4 cup, chopped
- 🧂 Salt – to taste
- 🧂 Pepper – to taste
- 🛢️ Olive oil – for frying
Instructions
- Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the batter by whisking together about a cup of all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the seasoned fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- While the fish is frying, mix the chipotle sauce with freshly squeezed lime juice in a small bowl.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, then assemble the tacos with crispy fish, shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and drizzle with chipotle sauce, finishing with chopped cilantro.
Notes
- For extra crunch, consider adding a light coating of flour mixed with cornstarch to the fish before frying.
- Experiment with different types of fish for varied flavors and textures.
- Adjust the chipotle sauce to your preferred spice level by adding cayenne pepper or extra chipotle peppers.
