  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beer

Instructions: How to Cook Rubios Fish Taco

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly pour in the beer while whisking until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

  5. In another bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro to make the slaw.
