"I'm crazy about fish tacos," says chef Amanda Hallowell. "And my sister Jessie is a sauerkraut fanatic. She made a fish Reuben sandwich one day, and we said, 'Let's combine the Reuben and the fish taco.' " At Nebo Lodge, that means fried flounder wrapped in a homemade flour tortilla with Jarlsberg cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- salt
- 1 3/4 cups club soda
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large dill pickle
- 2 Tbsp. ketchup
- vegetable oil
- 4 filets flounder
- 4 flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup sauerkraut
- 3/4 cup shredded Jarlsberg cheese
- 1 cup microgreens or baby arugula
Directions
- Step 1In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. With a fork, blend in the club soda until incorporated; it's okay if the batter is lumpy. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Step 2Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickle, and ketchup, and season with salt. In a deep fryer or a very large saucepan, heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees F. Pat the flounder dry and season lightly with salt. Dip 2 of the fillets in the batter and let any excess drip off. Fry the fish, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 1/2 minutes. Drain the fish on a rack set over a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining fish fillets and batter.
- Step 3Warm the tortillas in the oven for about 40 seconds, until hot and pliable. Spread the Russian dressing on the tortillas. Top with the sauerkraut, fried flounder, Jarlsberg cheese, and microgreens. Fold the tortilla over the fillings and serve right away.
