Original recipe serves 4. Current scale: 1x.
This is a combination of the best ingredients from different fish tacos I have tried. The amounts below are approximate. I exaggerate all.
Hands-Free Mode Off
Equipment
Pie plate, small bowls, large cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 1 -1 1/2 lb halibut
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 4 ounces green cabbage (shredded)
- 4 ounces red cabbage (shredded)
- 1/4 cup red onion (julienned)
- 3/4 cup ranch dressing (bottled, package, homemade )
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used light)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- hot sauce (I use a lot, I like it spicy)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons jalapenos (minced)
- 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
For breading -- In a pie plate mix cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper, garlic powder and chili powder.
In a small bowl mix cabbages and red onion. Set aside.
For sauce -- In another small bowl (I like to use a pourable measuring cup) mix the Ranch, mayo, garlic powder, cumin, dill, pepper, lime juice, hot sauce and jalapeno.
Cut fish into small slices. Roll in breading.
Warm a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Coat the pan with cooking oil.
Fry fish pieces until lightly brown on all sides about 4-5 min being careful to not break up the pieces when turning.
To serve-- put fish in warmed corn tortillas (I warm mine until slightly crispy on a cast iron pan), spoon some of the sauce over it and top with cabbage mixture. Enjoy!
