Baja Style Fish Tacos

I came up with this recipe after having fish tacos from a street vendor in Ensenada, Mexico. It is the closest to authentic I have found. Salsa can be made a day in advance for flavors to blend.

INGRIDIENT

6 tomatoes, diced

1 small onion, diced

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons canned diced jalapeno peppers, or more to taste (juice reserved)

½ teaspoon garlic salt

½ lime, juiced

3 cups coleslaw mix

3 tablespoons ranch dressing

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

1 (9 ounce) box batter mix (such as Shore Lunch®)

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mexican beer

24 corn tortillas

1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks

2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

2 limes, sliced into wedges

1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®) (Optional)

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Mix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, 1 tablespoon juice from jalapeno peppers, and garlic salt in a bowl; squeeze 1/2 lime over salsa fresca. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing fish.

Step: 2

Toss coleslaw mix with ranch dressing in a bowl; set aside for flavors to blend.

Step: 3

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 4

Stir batter mix and beer together in a bowl. Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels and set aside.

Step: 5

Dip cod in the batter mix; fry coated cod in batches in the hot oil until cod is cooked through and coating is brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove cod with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step: 6

Microwave corn tortillas on high until warmed, about 1 minute.

Step: 7

Stack two tortillas on a plate; top with fish, a sprinkle of Mexican cheese, coleslaw mixture, salsa fresca, and a squeeze from lime wedge. Drizzle with chile-garlic sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
