How to Make Rubio’s Fish Tacos Recipe?

Here’s how you can easily make your Rubio’s fish tacos recipe. You’re already one step ahead as your white sauce is prepared. Let’s step forward for salsa, wet batter, dry batter, and tortillas-

Step-1

In this step, you’ll make your salsa. So, gather all the salsa ingredients on your kitchen countertop. It will easier your way. 

Put a pan on the stove at medium-low heat and let the onion, garlic cloves, serrano (add serrano only if you like extra heat), and jalapeno char on the pan oilless. Just keep them charring for 5 minutes and ensure they are becoming softened.

Step-2

Now take your charred elements and put them in your blender to blend. 

Step-3

Place a pan on the stove and give some oil. Add that blended mixture of charred onion, two types of diced tomatoes, cilantro, salt, and limeade to the oil. And let it boil for 5 minutes at medium-low heat. Make sure the mixture isn’t burnt on the pan bottom. When the flavor starts melding, your salsa is ready. Transfer it to a bowl and keep it aside.

Step-4

You already have finished making your white sauce and your mild salsa. It’s now time to make the dry batter. So, take a bowl and put your measured all-purpose flour in. Add baking powder. Keep mixing them for 1 minute to get a good dry batter.

Your dry batter is ready. Keep the bowl aside.

Step-5

In this stage, you have to make the wet batter. Making a wet batter requires some more ingredients and spices than a dry batter. So, take all the ingredients together on the countertop. 

Step-6

Take a large bowl and add beer to it. Beer will help to make a nice wet batter. Now add chicken bouillon, Mexican oregano, pepper, salt, minced garlic, and yellow mustard. Now give a good stir for 1 minute and make a smooth mixture. Your wet batter is ready.

Step-7

Now pour the wet batter into the dry batter and mix them to get a good consistency. Once the mixture is ready, it will seem like a yellow pancake dough. The color came from the yellow mustard.

Step-8

Now refrigerate this dough for 10 minutes. In the meantime, you need to go ahead with fish prep.

Step-9

To make your fish tacos, you can take any of your favorite fish. However, we have chosen Wild Alaskan Pollok Cod fish. This fish is super delicious for a fish tacos recipe. Take 5 thick fillets of Alaskan Pollok fish. 

Step-10

Take out the refrigerated batter and dip all the fish fillets into the batter. 

Step-11

In this stage, you can fry the fish fillets either in a deep fryer or in a frying pan on a stove. We’re going to fry the fish fillets at 145° F for 10 minutes.

Step-12

In the meantime frying the fish fillets, you have to get the tortillas ready. You can use either corn tortillas or flour tortillas. We’ll use corn tortillas. So, take out the tortillas from the packets and warm them in a pan at low heat. 

Once you finished warming the tortillas, all the items to make your tacos are ready. 

Step-13

Take a tortilla and add a fish fillet on the top of tortilla. Add 1 tbsp of white sauce over the fish and then add 2 tbsp of salsa on the top white sauce. 

This time add some shredded cabbage around or put it on a side. Now roll the tortillas and close them with a toothpick. Your Rubio’s fish tacos recipe is ready.
