Mexican Catfish Tacos Recipe
Serves/Makes: 3 - 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 1-inch wide strips
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 cup corn meal
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 24 small corn tortillas
How to cook:
- Mix corn meal, chili powder and Cajun seasoning together in a shallow dish and set aside.
- Mix salsa and mayonnaise together and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet.
- Run catfish under cold water to moisten (you can also use milk or buttermilk to moisten the catfish) and dredge/coat catfish with corn meal mixture.
- Fry the catfish in heated oil until brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove catfish from pan and drain off excess oil on paper towels.
- Heat tortillas by placing them in a dry non-stick skillet over med-high heat for about 30 seconds per side.
- Prepare the fish tacos as soon as the tortilla comes off the heat. To do so, stack two tortillas together, place a portion of shredded cabbage in center of tortilla, add a few catfish strips, top with some cilantro and spoon a tablespoon or so of mayonnaise and salsa dressing over the top.
- Fold tortilla in half and eat!
