Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 – 2 pounds fresh cod (sliced)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 12 ounces light beer
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cole slaw mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
  • 2 cups Canola oil
  • 1 package white corn tortillas
  • 1–2 avocados (thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slaw: In a bowl, mix together the cole slaw mix, chopped cilantro, lime juice, pineapple juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Toss well and set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Sauce: In another bowl, combine the mayo, honey, and adobo sauce. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  3. Cut the Cod: Cut the cod into small strips, about 1×2 inches, and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine the flour, panko bread crumbs, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt. Slowly add the beer while whisking until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Heat the Oil: Pour the Canola oil into a skillet about 1 inch deep and heat it to 350°F.
  6. Fry the Cod: Dip the fish pieces into the batter, then carefully fry them in batches for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  7. Drain the Fish: Transfer the cooked fish to a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
  8. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  9. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with crispy fish, top with slaw, and add slices of avocado. Drizzle with sauce.

Notes

For best results, serve immediately after frying to maintain crispiness.
