Slaw
- Shred cabbage. In a medium bowl, mix together cabbage, red onion, oil, salt and vinegar. Set aside.
Sauce
- Combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Set aside.
Corn Tortillas
- Mix together Maseca and water until a dough starts to form. You don't want it to be too wet. Keep covered with a towel. Make a ball, the size of a golf ball. Put inside of your tortilla press (lined with plastic wrap). Press each tortilla, cooking after they are pressed. Cook on the gridle for 3-4 minutes, flipping once. Keep wraped in a towel to stay warm.
Beer Batter
- In a medium bowl- mix together flour, salt and pepper. Make a well in the flour mixture and slowly add the beer, stirring while pouring. Mix until smooth and all of the lumps are gone. Set aside.
Fish
- In a skillet, over medium-low heat, add 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350F.
- Dip each piece of fish into the beer batter to coat both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off. Fry the fish in the hot oil until golden brown, 2-3 minutes/side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels to drain.
