Excellent Fish Tacos

I got back from a fishing trip and have a freezer full of fish, so this is one of the great ways to prepare the Pacific Whitefish that I caught. Cod or any other form of mild fish can be used also.

Ingredients

  • Canola oil (Enough to fry fish in)
  • Fish Fillets. (White fish such as cod) cut into 6 inch strips
  • Corn tortillas 1 or 2 for each taco
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 8-10 oz of  beer
  • Sauce
    • 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
    •  2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Option toppings
    • shredded cabbage
    • pico de gallo (chopped onion, tomato, cilantro with lime juice and salt)

Directions

Prepare sauce by chopping chipotle finely and mixing with mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Prepare pico de gallo if desired by chopping and combining pico de gallo ingredients. Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, egg, beer in a bowl and mix till smooth. Spay each tortilla with a little cooking oil and lightly fry in a hot pan for about 1-2 mins per side and set aside. Add oil to pan and heat to about 350 degrees. Dip fish strips into batter and fry for about 5 mins or till done turning over once. Put a layer of the chipotle sauce on the tortilla, then the fish and finally toppings. Fold over, serve and enjoy.
