Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets, such as tilapia or cod
• 2 Anaheim chilies
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup buttermilk
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 8 small flour tortillas
• Lime wedges, for serving
• Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the Anaheim chilies on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the skins are charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool. Once cooled, remove the skins, stems, and seeds, and dice the chilies.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the fish fillets in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish. Dip the flour-coated fish fillets into the buttermilk and then back into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded fish fillets and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Warm the flour tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side.
7. To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of the cooked fish onto each warm tortilla. Top with diced roasted Anaheim chilies and any desired toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos.
8. Serve the Anaheim Fish Tacos with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
