Ingredients

Tomato & Avocado Salsa

• 1 large tomato, diced
• ¼ cup diced red onion
• ½ jalapeno, minced
• 2-3 tablespoons lime juice
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• ½ avocado, diced
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Pinch of cayenne, if desired

Fish Tacos

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
• ⅓ cup beer
• 8 ounces tilapia fillet, cut crosswise into 1-inch wide strips
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 4 corn tortillas, warmed (see Tip)

Directions

• Step 1

  To prepare salsa: Combine tomato, onion, jalapeno, lime juice to taste, kosher salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in avocado and cilantro. Add cayenne (if using).

• Step 2

  To prepare tacos: Combine flour, cumin, salt and cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk in beer to create a batter.

• Step 3

  Coat tilapia pieces in the batter. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Letting excess batter drip back into the bowl, add the fish to the pan; cook until crispy and golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the fish with tortillas and the salsa.

Tips

Tip: To warm tortillas, wrap in barely damp paper towels and microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds or wrap in foil and bake at 300 degrees F until steaming, 5 to 10 minutes.

To make ahead: Cover and refrigerate salsa (Step 1) for up to 3 days.
