How To Make fish tacos with avocado cream

  • Step 1
    Cut the fish into 3-inch pieces. Season with salt and dust with rice flour.
  • Step 2
    Mix the rice flour with the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vodka and club soda to make a medium-thick batter.
  • Step 3
    Heat the oil in a Dutch oven to 375 degrees. Make sure the oil will cover the fish pieces. Deep fry in batches and drain on paper towel-lined paper plates.
  • Step 4
    For the slaw, place the cabbage in a strainer. Season with salt and let sit for 15 minutes. Place the cabbage in a bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients. Set aside.

    For the avocado cream, place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until well blended.
  • Step 6
    Warm the flour tortillas and fill with the fish, slaw and cream.
