Oven Baked Beer Batter Fish Tacos

Tonight I used Sweetwater Sch'Wheat Beer for fish tacos. My fish is battered and bake in the oven instead of frying in oil. I only used a little cooking spray on the oven rack to prevent the fish from sticking. This is my attempt on healthier beer batter fish tacos. Enjoy!

   Sch'Wheat. My favorite beer. It adds a mild beer flavor. Not to over powering.

The beer batter with cumin, ground red pepper for heat, and chili powder.

The pieces of fish cooking in the oven. I used Mahi Mahi (it is firm and was on sale :)

Ingredients for my avocado sauce.  

Topping for tacos. I used the avocado to serve sauce.

6. Cook for 10 minutes or until fish flakes and batter is crispy.
