Fish tacos 'Ensenada'

We cooked some fish tacos on the beach with our Australian lifeguard friends in Cornwall and I always thought one day I’d get to Ensenada, find the tacos they spoke of. That’s how it happened and this is the recipe.

  • soured cream3 tbsp
  • Beer250 ml
  • Vegetable Oil (for frying)200 ml
  • hot chilli sauce15 ml

Instructions

7 steps
  1. 1

    To make the chipotle crema, mix the ingredients together with a pinch of salt in a small bowl and set aside.

  2. 2

    To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients together with ½ teaspoon of salt in a small bowl, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan to 190C (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).

  4. 4

    To make the batter, sift 200g/7oz of the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt and the baking powder into a large bowl. Whisk in the lager until smooth. Tip the remaining100g/3½oz flour into a small bowl and season well with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    In batches, coat the fish in the seasoned flour, shake off the excess, then dip into the batter. Fry each piece for 2-3 minutes, until crisp and golden-brown. Repeat until all the fish is cooked. Drain each batch on kitchen paper to remove any excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt.

  6. 6

    Warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan, microwave or oven.

  7. 7

    Serve the fish immediately in the warm tortillas, with the cabbage, avocado, salsa and sauces on the side.
