INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup DORITOS® FLAMIN' HOT® Limón Flavored Tortilla Chips blitzed into breadcrumbs, plus extra to finish
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 6 oz lager
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 lb tilapia, divided in half lengthwise
  • 3/4 tsp salt, to season the fish
  • 6 corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chipotle salsa
  • 1/4 cup Mexican crema
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  • In a food processor, blitz the chips into breadcrumbs. Add flour to combine.
  • Whisk the egg, beer, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the flour and chip mixture, one tablespoon at a time, to the egg mixture. Whisk well to make sure there are no lumps, and until the texture resembles a thin pancake batter.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium high.
  • Season the fish with salt and coat each piece of fish in the batter. Then drop the fish into the oil. Fry until golden on the first side, about 2 minutes, then flip and repeat.
  • Transfer the fish onto tortillas and top with pico de gallo, cabbage, cilantro, salsa, crema, DORITOS® crumbs, and a squeeze of lime to serve.
