Preparation

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, smoked paprika, vinegar, and garlic to make the crema.
Season with salt and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, onion, and cilantro for the slaw.
Add lemon zest and juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then toss to mix thoroughly.
Let the slaw sit for at least 5 minutes.

Cooking

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Lightly char each tortilla for 20-25 seconds per side.
Adjust heat if they char too quickly.
Keep warm.

Plating & Serving

To assemble, stack two tortillas per taco.
Place a portion of beer-battered fish on each, followed by slaw and a drizzle of crema.
Garnish with cilantro leaves, pickled jalapeños, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Fold and serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot sauce in the crema. Serve with additional lime wedges for extra zest.
