Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
3 teaspoons salt
12 ounces beer
3 (8-ounce) tilapia fillets, cut into chunks
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Quick-Pickled Onion and Cucumber, recipe follows
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water

  • Toss in the tomato and cilantro, 5 minutes before serving.
