Taco Fiesta: Fresh Fish Tacos with a Spanish Rice Twist!

Hola, taco enthusiasts! Jordan here, and today, I'm bringing the party to your taste buds with my latest creation: Fresh Fish Tacos with Spanish Rice. Inspired by the incredible flavors of @brigantineseafood, these tacos are not just a meal; they're a flavor-packed fiesta that's about to SLAP! 🎉🌮 Watch my IG video of this recipe here. Ingredients: ½ lb. White Fish (I went for the Halibut caught in the Gulf of California – 40 miles off the coast of Puerto Peñasco!) ¾ cup Red Cabbage, shredded  Dry Batter Mix (I used cornmeal for a less crispy fish) 1 cup Salsa Fresca 1 cup Ranch Dressing  4 Corn Tortillas (soft or crispy, your choice!) 4 Lime Wedges  Method: Batter Up! 🎣 Make 1 cup of batter mix following the directions on the box. Get ready to dust those fish pieces in a little dry batter and then dip them into the mix. It's time for a deep-fry fiesta until that fish turns a glorious golden brown (around 3½-4 minutes). Shell Game 🌽 If you're all about the soft corn shells, give them a quick dip in water to soften, then warm them up on a hot skillet (or do a hot oil bath and crisp them up). Taco Construction Zone 🚧 In each tortilla, assemble the dream team: a piece of that golden fish, a generous scoop of homemade Salsa Fresca, a handful of shredded red cabbage, a drizzle of homemade Ranch Dressing, a sprinkle of cheese, and a dollop of guac. Top it all off with a lime wedge – because every taco deserves a citrusy kick! Serve and Savor 🌮 Grab a plate, serve those tacos with spanish rice, and get ready to indulge in a taste sensation that's going to make your taste buds do the cha-cha. Each bite is a party in your mouth! So, are you ready to embark on this taco adventure? Let's dive into the deliciousness together! 🚀🔥 #JordanCooks #TacoFiesta
