Fort Worth Fish Tacos
- Fish:
- 8 (3 ounce) fillets tilapia
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
- Cilantro Cream Sauce:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (5.3 ounce) container plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Beer Batter:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- cayenne pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup dark beer
- 3 cups peanut oil for frying
- For the Tacos:
- 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 1/4 medium head cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 (8 ounce) jar prepared salsa
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 small limes, quartered
- Place tilapia fillets on plate and sprinkle with salt and hot sauce; cover and refrigerate while making cilantro cream sauce.
- Combine cream cheese, 2 tablespoons cilantro, mayonnaise, and yogurt in a small bowl or large measuring cup; mix well. Stir lime juice into cream sauce. Cover and refrigerate.
- Whisk flour, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined; whisk in beer to make a smooth batter.
- Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Remove fish from refrigerator; dip in beer batter and fry fillets 3 at a time in the hot oil, turning when golden (approximately 2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness). Transfer to paper towels to drain; set fish on a covered plate to keep warm. Repeat with remaining fillets.
- Wrap tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and heat in the microwave until warm, about 20 seconds. Assemble tacos by placing a fish fillet on a warm tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, a dollop of cilantro cream sauce, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve each taco with a lime quarter for squeezing.
