California

I'm going, going back, back to Cali, Cali =)

I've actually never been to California, just a little Notorious BIG moment, but this recipe gives you a delicious taste of California living. Californians love their fish tacos and with good reason. A seafood spin-off of the classic taco , these fish tacos are sure to please!
p.s the recipe uses beer..bonus!

Ingredients
For the beer batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons corn starch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of beer

For the white sauce:

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup mayo
•  juice of 1 lime
• 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
• 1 teaspoon minced capers *optional* (I omitted them)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

For the fish:

• 1 quart cooking oil
• 1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2 or 3oz portions
• 1 package corn tortillas
• 1/2 medium head cabbage, finely shredded 

Step 1: To make beer batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Blend egg and beer, then quickly stir into the flour mixture (don't worry about a few lumps). 

Step 2:To make white sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and mayonnaise. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Season with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill, and cayenne

Step 3: Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 4: Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into beer batter, and fry until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas in a lightly greased frying pan; not too crisp. To serve, place fried fish in a tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, and white sauce.





These are delicious with a side of crispy fries! Enjoy =)
