Provided by Ingrid Hoffmann

Time 1h2m

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 to 2 chipotles in adobo sauce seeds removed, finely chopped
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 scallion, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt
2 pounds skinless red snapper fillets (or other firm, flaky white fish)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups vegetable oil, for frying
8 8-inch flour tortillas
1 cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups arugula leaves
1 cup fresh cilantro
Zest of 2 oranges
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients in a small bowl, using salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces and put in a bowl with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Turn the fish to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • Place the flour in a shallow dish and toss the fish pieces in it, a few at a time, until evenly coated. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. (To see if it's hot enough, place a small piece of bread in the oil; it should sizzle immediately.) Carefully add a few pieces of fish at a time, shaking off excess flour before placing them in the oil. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and warm for 10 to 20 seconds on each side. Place on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel; repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Spread a dollop of the chipotle tartar sauce on a warmed tortilla. Add a few pieces of cucumber and top with 3 or 4 pieces of fish, a few arugula and cilantro leaves and a little orange zest. Serve with lime wedges and more tartar sauce on the side.

CHICHARRONES TACOS



Chicharrones Tacos image

A wildly popular Latin snack food throughout the Americas, chicharrones are made from pork belly that has been cooked for a long time with the skin on, and contains a little meat (what we think of as pork rinds in the United States). Though usually eaten as a crispy snack, they also make a tasty taco filling when heated in a sauce until softened and chewy. The most unusual chicharrones are those made from the whole pork skin fried in one piece-they're about four feet long by two feet wide and resemble some dried prehistoric animal. You'll see them for sale on weekends along the highways in areas of Mexico where there are a lot of pigs, sometimes next to a huge pot of pork fat boiling over an open fire. They're almost always made to order; you stop and buy a piece or buy the whole thing. I'm guessing you only see them by the highways because they are so enormous you need a car or pickup truck to get one home.

Yield makes 10 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds pork belly fat, cut into 1 by 1 by 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups Tomatillo-Blackened Serrano Chile Salsa (page 135)
10 (5 1/2-inch) soft white corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
Garnish: Pickled jalapeño rings, chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet, add the pork fat and salt and cook over low heat until the pork has fully rendered its fat and the pieces are puffed and airy, about 40 minutes. Transfer the chicharrones to a large saucepan, add the tomatillo salsa, and cook on medium-high heat until the sauce is almost dried up and coats the chicharrones, about 9 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and serve immediately, or keep warm in the pan until ready to serve.
  • To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with garnish and salsa. Grab, fold, and eat right away. Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand. Spoon on some filling, top with garnish and salsa, fold, and eat right away.
