Ingredients

12 each fish, cod or favorite whitefish fillets (1-1/2 oz ea)
12 each flour tortillas corn, as thick as possible, fresh
1 x vegetable oil for deep frying
1 cup flour, all-purpose
1 cup beer
1 x garlic powder to taste
1 x black pepper to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup yogurt, plain
1 each garlic clove peeled, minced
6 each tomatoes ripe, peeled, seeded, diced
1/2 each onion minced
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves chopped, stems removed
2 each jalapeno peppers seeded, chopped

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 each cabbage green, shredded
1 each lime cut into wedges

Directions

Mix flour with favorite spices such as garlic powder, red or black ground pepper. Stir the flour mixture into the beer and mix until well blended.

Wash fish by dipping in cold, lightly salted water or water with a little bit of lemon juice added. Be sure fish is completely dry before dipping into batter.

Prepare salsa; reserve.

Put the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and bring to 375 F. Place fish in a single layer -do not let pieces touch each other. Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown.

Heat corn tortillas lightly in a skillet or Mexican comal until they are soft and hot.

To assemble, on each tortilla layer the fish fillet, white sauce, salsa and cabbage. Top it off with a squeeze of lime. Fold tortilla over to serve.

This recipe is pretty close to the San Diego restaurant from which it comes. I also have used any firm white fish such as halibut or haddock

Great recreation of the incredible Rubio's Fish Taco. Most people get this wrong, but not this one. The CORN tortilla is vital to the flavor. Get them as fresh and thick as possible. Another vital element is the hot sauce. It's very easy to make and will kick up the flavor a bunch.

Spent 17 years in San Diego and have lived in ohio for the past 5. I've been craving Rubio's for the past year and just tried these tonight and they were fabulous. I also made a cream chipotle sauce that I prefer to the typical white sauce I like the added kick. I also found a salsa that is a dead on match for a smoky tasting salsa rubio's had, It was Frontera's roasted red pepper & garlic salsa with mellow red chile.

these tacos taste just like the real thing. I did make one little change, I use Champagne instead of beer only because I had that left over from another recipe that I made. But it tasted GREAT
