Instructions
- Get your slaw going by mixing all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the chipotle crema, combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Set into the fridge until ready to use.
- Next, get your fish going by adding the 2 cups of vegetable oil to a large pot. Heat to 375 degrees. Do not let the oil boil.
- Slice the fish into strips and set aside.
- Set out two bowls. In the first bowl, add half the flour along with paprika and garlic. Mix well.
- In the second bowl, add remaining flour, baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt and beer. Whisk vigorously until nicely combined.
- Dip the fish into the first bowl, then coat with beer batter in the second bowl. Tap off extra batter.
- Set into the oil and fry a couple of minutes per side, until the fish is nicely browned.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with a bit of salt.
- Serve the beer battered fish on warmed corn tortillas. Hit with a tiny bit of salt, then lime juice, then a bit of the chipotle crema and top with your slaw and a bit of hot sauce.
