Crunchy Fish Tacos Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 18

Pink Chile Mayonnaise:
2 pounds cod (or mahi mahi (skinned, boned and cleaned) cut into 1-ounce strips
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons water
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 head savoy cabbage (I used regular cabbage), finely shredded
1 bunch cilantro, leaves picked
1 bunch chives, chopped
3 limes, cut into wedges for garnish
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
3 chipotles in adobo, plus 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
NOTE: I use only 1 chipotle

Steps:

  • Prepare the fish. Cut the pieces of fish into 1-ounce strips. Set up a breading station of flour, lightly beaten eggs with water, and seasoned panko bread crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces of fish in flour, egg then bread crumbs. Once all the fish is breaded deep-fry in small batches in (375 degrees F) oil. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep warm until ready to serve. Prepare the pink chile mayonnaise. Put the chipotles in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, adobo sauce and lemon juice and continue to process until the mixture is consistent and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use. To serve, set up the tacos "family-style". Assemble the fish in a pile on a plate; the pink chile mayonnaise in a bowl. Set a pile of shredded savoy cabbage, cilantro leaves, chopped chives and lime wedges next to the fish. Toast the corn tortillas lightly over an open flame (on your stove top) and serve.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but they were still very good.

These tacos were a little too crunchy for my taste, but the flavor was good. I'll try making them again with a different coating.

I'm not usually a fan of fish tacos, but these were amazing! The fish was cooked perfectly, and the slaw and sauce were out of this world. I'll definitely be making these again.

These fish tacos were a hit at my Cinco de Mayo party! The crunchy coating on the fish was delicious, and the slaw and sauce were the perfect complements. I'll definitely be making these again.
