Instructions

1. – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

2. – Slowly whisk in the cold beer until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.

3. – Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F.

4. – Working in batches, dip the fish pieces into the beer batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

5. – Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

6. – Transfer the fried fish to a paper towel-lined plate.

7. – Warm the tortillas according to package instructions.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let the battered fish rest for 10-15 minutes before frying. Adjust the seasoning in the batter to your taste. The beer batter can also be used to fry other types of seafood or vegetables.
