Baja Style Fish Tacos

Baja Style Fish Tacos
  • 6 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons canned diced jalapeno peppers, or more to taste (juice reserved)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 3 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 (9 ounce) box batter mix (such as Shore Lunch®)
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mexican beer
  • 24 corn tortillas
  • 1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 2 limes, sliced into wedges
  • 1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®) (optional)


  1. Mix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, 1 tablespoon juice from jalapeno peppers, and garlic salt in a bowl; squeeze 1/2 lime over salsa fresca. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing fish.
  2. Toss coleslaw mix with ranch dressing in a bowl; set aside for flavors to blend.
  3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Stir batter mix and beer together in a bowl. Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels and set aside.
  5. Dip cod in the batter mix; fry coated cod in batches in the hot oil until cod is cooked through and coating is brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove cod with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  6. Microwave corn tortillas on high until warmed, about 1 minute.
  7. Stack two tortillas on a plate; top with fish, a sprinkle of Mexican cheese, coleslaw mixture, salsa fresca, and a squeeze from lime wedge. Drizzle with chile-garlic sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
