Crispy Baja Fish Tacos: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Oil for frying
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Creamy sauce (sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce mixed together)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry. Cut the fillets into strips.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with water.
  3. Coat the Fish: Dredge each fish strip in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with cornmeal for a crispy finish.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Fry the Fish: Carefully add the fish strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  6. Warm the Tortillas: In another skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
  7. Assemble Tacos: Place a few pieces of crispy fish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of creamy sauce.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
