RUBIO'S FISH TACOS RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 23

Rubios Fish Taco Recipe
12 sticks of fish - prepared as above
12 corn tortillas
oil for deep frying
Batter
1 cup flour
1 cup beer
1 tspn garlic powder
few twists pepper
Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
Salsa
1 garlic clove - peeled and finely chopped
6 ripe tomatoes - diced finely
Small red onion - peeled and diced
2 tablespoon cilantro leaves - chopped finely
2 jalapeno chillies - seeded and chopped finely
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Salad
Finely shredded hard cabbage
limes - cut into wedges - you'll need 12 pieces

Steps:

  • First make your batter - whisk the ingredients together until they're well blended and then beat a little longer to make the batter full of air bubbles 'airy'. Set aside for an hour. Mix the sauce ingredients together and put into the fridge. Mix the salsa ingredients together - if you can't get cilantro leaves, use fresh chopped parsley, coriander, chives or similar to your taste - I used shredded basil leaves. Have everything ready to assemble before you cook the fish. Before you start cooking, give the batter another whisk - this will make it airy again - vital for crispy batter. Heat the oil in a pan - when a cube of bread floats to the top, it's ready. Dip each piece of fish into the batter and fry until the batter is golden and crispy. Cook the fish in one layer or it might 'steam' and the batter may go soggy. Heat the tortillas in a lightly oiled pan until they are soft and hot. Assemble as follows:- Lay the tortilla on a plate and layer the fish, sauce, salsa and cabbage - squeeze the lime juice over it all and then fold the tortilla over the filling. This is wonderful - not living in the US, I had never heard of Rubios fish taco recipe, but I've tried this now and it's fantastic. I'll most certainly be cooking it again...

Categories     Fish

Yield serves 5

Number Of Ingredients 24

Fish Marinade:
1 cup seeded and chopped tomatoes (about 1/2 pound)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 fresh or pickled jalapeño chilies seeded and minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 pounds of firm fleshed white fish (striped bass, halibut, tilapia)
Rubios Sauce:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
juice of 1 lime
salt to taste
15 small corn tortillas
Fixings:
1 1/2 cups red cabbage, thinly chopped
2 avocados, sliced or 1 cup of your favorite guacamole
1 cup of fresh tomatoes, chopped or your favorite salsa
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight. Make the Rubios sauce by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Can be made two days ahead. Wrap groups of 5 corn tortillas in aluminum foil. Place an oiled hinged fish grate onto a large plate. Transfer the fish from the marinade and place into the grate. (The plate underneath prevents the marinade from dripping). Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the fish until the center is just opaque, about 5 minutes per side. While fish is cooking, place the foil-wrapped tortillas on the grill to warm. Set up a buffet with all of the fixings, the tortillas and the fish.

Tips:

  • For the most authentic Rubio's experience, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Be sure to season the fish tacos generously with salt, pepper, and chili powder. This will help to give them a delicious, flavorful crust.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to suit your own taste. For example, if you like your fish tacos spicy, you can add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.

Rubio's fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
