Ingredients:

Beer batter:

Procedure

Place the eggs, beer, mustard, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt and sugar in a medium bowl and mix until smooth. Add the flour and continue mixing until it is a little thinner than pancake batter.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fat fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees. Dredge the fish pieces in flour and then into the batter and fry until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt.

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan and warm the tortillas. Spread each tortilla with a tablespoon of chipotle mayonnaise and place a piece of fried fish on top. Add some shredded cabbage and serve.
