Fish Tacos

SOOOOO SOOO good!! I didn't think I would like the mayo but I ate 2 "tacos". I did switch the chipotle chili's to green mild roasted chili's because that's what we had. They were canned chili's. It was UNREAL!! easy and such a good dinner!!
Ingredients
  • 3 eggs, well beaten
  • 8 ounces dark beer ( I used what we had which was a Blue Moon)
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dredging
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 1/2 pounds codfish, cut into serving pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Corn Tortillas ( we used small and yellow corn)
  • Chipotle Mayonnaise, recipe follows
  • Shredded cabbage

Directions

Put the eggs, beer, mustard, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt and sugar in a medium bowl and mix until smooth. Add the flour and continue mixing until it is a little thinner than pancake batter, mine was thick and yummy.

In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough vegetable oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F. Dredge the fish pieces in flour and then into the batter and until golden brown. Remove from the oil to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt.

Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan and warm the tortillas. Spread each tortilla with a tablespoon of Chipotle Mayonnaise and arrange a piece of the fried fish on top. Add some shredded cabbage to each tortilla and serve.

A viewer, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe and therefore, we cannot make representation as to the results.

Chipotle Mayo
  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or 2 small limes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons chipotle chili puree (like I said above I used canned green roasted chili's)
  • Pinch kosher salt

Mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro and chipotle chili puree together in a medium bowl, add the salt and mix again. I did all of this in a food processor. I pureed the chili's then chopped the cilantro. After all that I threw all the ingredients into the processor together. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
