Description

A vibrant dish with perfectly fried fish and fresh ingredients, transporting you to sunny beaches with every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Corn tortillas
  • Shredded cabbage
  • Sliced avocado
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Salsa or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by gathering your ingredients. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to help the coating stick better later.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Dip each fish fillet into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture until fully coated. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, and fry the coated fish until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. While the fish cooks, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Assemble your tacos with a piece of fried fish, topped with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro. Add a squeeze of lime and serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

Use fresh fish for the best flavor and texture; frozen can work in a pinch. Customize toppings as desired for a personal touch.
