Directions

  1. 1
    Combine 1/4 cup sour cream, the mayonnaise, lime juice, cayenne, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. 2
    Add the cabbage and cilantro and toss to combine.
  3. 3
    Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. 4
    Heat 1/2 inch of the oil in a cast-iron skillet to 345 degrees F. Lay out the fish pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle them with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning.
  6. 6
    Combine the breadcrumbs, flour and baking powder in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  7. 7
    Combine the egg, beer, hot sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning in a second bowl.
  8. 8
    Dip the fish in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture.
  9. 9
    Working in batches, fry in the hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes total.
  10. 10
    Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  11. 11
    Season with salt.
  12. 12
    Lay out 1 tortilla on your work surface.
  13. 13
    Pile the following ingredients on top of each other in the middle of the tortilla in this order: 1 cup slaw, 6 pieces of the fried fish, a quarter of the avocado slices, a quarter of the crumbled tortilla chips and a quarter of the radishes.
  14. 14
    Smear 1 tablespoon of the remaining sour cream on the tortilla next to the avocado and add a few dashes of hot sauce; this will act as the glue to keep help keep everything together.
  15. 15
    Carefully roll up the tortilla into a burrito and place seam-side down on your work surface.
  16. 16
    Insert 6 evenly-spaced skewers crosswise through the roll.
  17. 17
    Using a serrated knife, trim and discard the very ends of the roll (or eat them), and then slice between the skewers to create 6 skewered rounds.

    Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
