1

Start by making the sauce with plain yogurt and mayonnaise.

2

Whisk in fresh lime juice until the sauce is a little runny.

3

Add one seeded and chopped jalapeno, a teaspoon of cayenne, half a teaspoon of ground cumin, half a teaspoon of dried oregano, half a teaspoon of dill, and about a teaspoon of capers to the sauce.

4

Sprinkle in a little salt and mix well to finish the sauce.

5

For the batter, combine flour, two tablespoons of corn starch, a teaspoon of baking powder, and half a teaspoon of salt in a bowl and whisk together.

6

Add beer and an egg to the dry ingredients and mix to create the batter.

7

Cut the Cod into small pieces and dust with flour to ensure the batter sticks.

8

Heat oil in a pan and dip the corn tortillas into the oil for a few seconds until they are slightly crispy but still pliable.

9

Fold the fried tortillas in half and let them rest to cool.

10

Dip the pieces of fish into the batter and fry them until golden and crispy.

11

Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of crispy fish in the tortilla, adding cabbage shreds, a drizzle of the sauce, cilantro, and Pico de gallo.
