  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ medium lime, juiced
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 3 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mexican beer

Instructions

  • Make the salsa: Mix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños, 1 tablespoon jalapeño juice, and garlic salt together in a bowl until well combined. Pour lime juice over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
  • Make the tacos: Toss coleslaw mix and ranch dressing together in a bowl; set aside until needed.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir beer and batter mix together in a bowl. Dip cod into batter mix.
  • Fry cod in batches in the hot oil until cooked through and coating is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer cod with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels. Microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute.
  • For each serving, stack two tortillas on a plate; top with cod, Mexican cheese, coleslaw mixture, and salsa. Squeeze a lime wedge over top and drizzle with Sriracha.
