Directions
Step
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the crispy coating.
Step
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel, then dredge them in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the fish.
Step
In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat.
Step
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated fish fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and crispy.
Step
Remove the fish from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Step
Assemble the tacos: Place a few pieces of crispy fish on each warmed tortilla.
Step
Top the fish with shredded lettuce or cabbage, fresh cilantro leaves, sliced avocado, sliced radishes, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños (if desired), and a drizzle of creamy sauce.
Step
Serve the Crispy Fish Tacos immediately, accompanied by fresh lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
Tips for this recipe
For added crunch and flavor, you can lightly toast the tortillas on a dry skillet before assembling the tacos.
