Ingredients

Scale

Vegan Fish

  • 1 recipe beer battered vegan fried fish

Tortillas

  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas

Toppings

  • 1/2 small purple cabbage, shredded
  • 2 roma tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1/4 white or red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1-2 avocados, sliced or diced
  • crumbled vegan cheese (e.g. Violife Feta)
  • 1-2 limes, cut into wedges for serving

Fish Taco Sauce

  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegan Fish: First, make the beer battered vegan fried fish according to your recipe or package instructions, frying until crispy and golden.
  2. Prep Toppings: While the fish cooks, prepare all taco toppings by shredding cabbage, dicing tomatoes and onion, chopping cilantro, slicing or dicing avocados, and crumbling vegan cheese. Set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together vegan mayo, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, and Sriracha until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Once the fish is cooked, warm the tortillas by toasting them on a dry skillet over medium-high heat or wrapping several in damp paper towels and microwaving for 1 minute.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Place a few pieces of fried vegan fish in each warm tortilla, add desired toppings, and finish with a generous drizzle of the prepared sauce. Slice large pieces of fish into smaller sections if needed.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges to squeeze over the tacos for extra zest and enjoy your vegan fish tacos.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegan cheese with your favorite brand or omit it if preferred.
  • For spicier tacos, add extra Sriracha to the sauce or sprinkle with chili flakes.
  • If you don’t have a skillet, warming tortillas in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes works well.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, ensuring the beer batter is also gluten-free.
