A specialty of Baja California, this recipe shows how to prepare fish tacos the classic way. Firm, white fish is cut into chunks, dipped in beer batter, and fried until crispy and golden. The battered chunks are arranged on corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage, a sour cream and mayonnaise sauce, avocado, and cilantro leaves. The prepared tacos should be served with lime wedges on the side.
