Steps:

  • Heat about 3 inches vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, toss the cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey and mayonnaise in a bowl. Season the slaw with salt.
  • Warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium-low heat or wrap in a damp cloth and microwave 25 seconds. Wrap in a towel to keep warm.
  • Mix the flour, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture, then fry in batches until golden and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt.
  • Halve, pit and slice the avocado. Fill the tortillas with the fish, avocado, slaw and salsa. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

  • Whisk cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and salt together in a small bowl. Combine cabbage, scallions, and cilantro in a separate bowl. Pour vinegar mixture over top and toss to coat; set cabbage slaw aside.
  • Combine chili powder, salt, coriander, cumin, and pepper in a bowl. Pat fish dry and rub with vegetable oil. Rub fish evenly with spice mixture. Place fish on a wire rack and refrigerate until grill is ready.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat with the lid down for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the grill is heating, combine mayonnaise, 1/2 of the lime juice, chipotle peppers, and garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Scrape the hot grill grate until clean. Dip a paper towel in vegetable oil and quickly rub it over the grate. Lay fish on the grill, perpendicular to the bars of the grate.
  • Cook until fish is opaque and flakes apart when gently prodded, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Tear fish apart into a bowl and pour remaining lime juice over top.
  • Place several tortillas in a single layer on the grill and cook until warm, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer to a tortilla warmer and repeat to warm remaining tortillas.
  • Smear warm tortillas with mayonnaise mixture, then add fish, cabbage slaw, and queso fresco.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch and baking powder with the yellow mustard and 8 ounces of beer. Add more beer 1 tablespoon at a time until the batter is the consistency of pancake batter. Press out any clumps with the back of a spoon.
  • Heat the oil to 350°-375°F, using a candy or frying thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a plate with paper towels.
  • One at a time, dredge each piece of fish in the batter, fully coating each piece and shaking off the excess, then gently sliding each filet into the hot oil. Work in batches to not overcrowd the pot. Use a splatter guard or place a lid half way over the pot to avoid oil splashes. Turn the pieces of fish in the oil and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they are golden on all sides. Transfer to the paper towel lined plate and repeat with the remaining fish pieces.

  • Combine slaw ingredients in large bowl, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it become infused with flavor. (Note: do not let slaw marinade for longer than 8 hours, to ensure slaw stays crisp).
  • To make Baja sauce, place ingredients in a small bowl, then stir or whisk to fully blend. Cover, and refrigerate 1-2 hours, for optimal flavor.
  • When you are ready to prepare tacos, pat each piece of fish dry (with paper towels). Season BOTH sides of the fish with lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, carefully place pieces of fish in skillet. Leave space between pieces of fish (might need to cook fish in two batches, so you don't overcrowd skillet). Cook fish portions for approx. 3 minutes, without moving them, until you can see the edges start to turn white as they cook (if using thick pieces of fish, you might have to cook them a bit longer). Once bottom side of the fish is "done", it will be easy to move in the skillet. Using a spatula, carefully turn fish to other side; continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. The fish will flake easily when done, and have a nice golden brown sear to it! Transfer fish to a plate; keep it warm while you assemble tacos!
  • To assemble taco, put a warmed corn tortilla onto plate, then place 2 avocado slices in middle of tortilla. Add 2 heaping Tablespoons of slaw on top of the avocados. Place a piece of grilled fish on top of slaw, then spoon some Baja sauce over the top. Garnish each taco with cilantro (and a small lime slice, if desired), and serve. ENJOY!
