Steps

1 hour 20 minutes

1

Rinse the fish fillets and, if you like, squeeze the juice of half a lime over them.
2

Cut each fillet into strips (I cut each fillet into 3 pieces).
3

In a bowl, sift the flour and baking powder, add the spices: garlic salt, black pepper, and paprika, then pour in half the beer and mix.
4

Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
5

Meanwhile, dice the tomatoes and onion into small cubes and finely chop the cilantro. Add salt and lime juice to make pico de gallo.
6

Thinly slice the cabbage and set aside.
7

Heat enough oil in a skillet until it bubbles. Dip the fish strips in the batter, then carefully add them to the hot oil.
8

Once golden brown, drain the fish on a bowl lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
9

Serve the fish in tortillas and top with chipotle mayo (just mix mayonnaise and chipotle sauce), sliced cabbage, and pico de gallo!
