Baja-Inspired Beer-Battered Fish Tacos

Baja-Inspired Beer-Battered Fish Tacos
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños, 1 tablespoon jalapeño juice, and garlic salt. Pour the lime juice over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with the ranch dressing; set aside until needed.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Stir the beer and batter mix together in a bowl. Dip the cod into the batter to coat.

  5. 5

    Carefully lower the cod into the hot oil in batches. Fry until cooked through and the coating is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining cod.

  6. 6

    Wrap the corn tortillas in wet paper towels. Microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Stack 2 tortillas on a plate and top with the cod, Mexican cheese, coleslaw mixture, and tomato salsa. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over the top and drizzle with Sriracha. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cod, cheese, coleslaw mixture, tomato salsa, lime wedge, and Sriracha.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
