ENSENADA-STYLE FISH TACOS

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dark Mexican beer, such as Dos Equis Ambar
Neutral oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds cod, cut into 5-by-1/2-inch strips (about 16 strips)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon chili oil
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dry oregano
Pinch of sugar
1 cup shredded Brussels sprouts or cabbage
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 corn tortillas
Mexican crema, for serving
Store-bought pico de gallo salsa, for serving
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Store-bought pickled jalapenos in strips (not crosswise, like for nachos)

Steps:

  • For the batter: Mix the flour, mustard, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually add the beer while whisking; the beer will make your batter crispier and more airy. Whisk until combined, then set the batter aside.
  • For the cod: In a large deep skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to cover 1 inch of the skillet and heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
  • On a large plate, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Season the fish strips with salt and pepper. Coat the fish in the flour mixture, then dip them into the beer batter. Fry in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack for the excess oil to drain.
  • For the Brussels sprouts slaw: In a bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, chili oil, oregano and sugar and whisk to combine. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the tacos: Heat the tortillas directly over a gas burner until charred in spots but still pliable. Make the tacos with the warm tortillas and fish, then top with the crema, Brussels sprouts slaw, salsa, red onions and jalapeno.

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.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

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®)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Toss coleslaw mix with ranch dressing in a bowl; set aside for flavors to blend.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir batter mix and beer together in a bowl. Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels and set aside.
  • 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.
  • Microwave corn tortillas on high until warmed, about 1 minute.
  • 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.
