Servings: persons

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne powder
Kosher salt and pepper
1 bottle Mexican beer of your choice
canola oil, for frying
1 pound white fish fillets, like tilapia, flounder or haddock
1/2 large bag tortilla chips
1/2 cup sour cream
6 ounces cotija cheese, crumbled
1 cup green cabbage, shredded
Mexican hot sauce like Cholula or Tapatio, to taste
chopped cilantro and lime wedges, to garnish

1
Heat 2 inches of canola oil in a medium saucepan to 350F.
2
Whisk together the flour and cayenne with a little salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
3
Add the beer slowly to prevent it from foaming over while lightly whisking until a batter forms.
4
Dip the fish in the batter, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl, then carefully drop into the oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through and deep golden-brown.
5
Remove fish using a spatula (tongs will make the fried coating fall off), drain on a thick layer of paper towels and cool to room temperature.
6
While the fish is cooling, arrange the tortilla chips on a serving plate and top with shredded cabbage.
7
Break up fish into 1 1/2-inch chunks and distribute over the top of the chips.
8
Transfer sour cream to a small plastic zip-top bag, snip off one of the tips and drizzle over the top, then add hot sauce and sprinkle the cotija cheese and cilantro on top.
9
Serve garnished with lime wedges.
