Fish tacos done right — crispy beer-battered white fish, a bright veg salsa, and a smoky chipotle mayo, all built around Bowtie Seasoning, Sergio’s Seasoning, and Pepper Mafia Seasoning. Inspired by the recipe from @apartmentcook, the batter comes together in minutes — flour, beer, egg, Bowtie, and Sergio’s — and fries up golden and light around the fish. The salsa is fresh and simple: red onion, tomato, cilantro, cabbage, and lime, seasoned with Sergio’s and a crack of Pepper Mafia. The chipotle mayo ties it all together — creamy, smoky, and bright with lime and Sergio’s. Load it into a tortilla and don’t be shy with the toppings.
Here’s what you’ll need:
