Steps:
- Make the salsa: Mix the tomatillo, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno in a bowl and season with salt.
- Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then toss with the flour in a bowl. Fry the fish in 2 batches, turning as needed, until golden brown and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt.
- Fill the tortillas with the fish, lettuce and salsa. Serve the tacos with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use fresh fish for the best flavor. Any type of white fish can be used, such as cod, tilapia, or halibut.
- Make sure the fish is cooked through before serving. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Use a variety of toppings to create your own unique tacos. Some popular toppings include shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado, and sour cream.
- Serve the tacos with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include tartar sauce, salsa, or guacamole.
- Enjoy your fish tacos!
