Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Make beer batter: Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Blend beer and egg in a separate bowl, then quickly stir into flour mixture until combined with a few lumps remaining.
Step 2
Make white sauce: Mix together yogurt and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Season with jalapeño, capers, cayenne, oregano, cumin, and dill.
Step 3
Start fish tacos: Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 4
Place fried fish in tortillas; top with shredded cabbage and white sauce.
Step 5
Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Set aside.
Step 6
Dip floured fish pieces into beer batter. Set aside.
Step 7
Fry in hot oil until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas in hot oil until just crisped, but not too crisp. Drain on paper towels.
