For the marinade, blend the guajillo chili with the onion, garlic, achiote, cumin, vinegar, orange juice, salt, and pepper. Place the fish strips in a large container, pour the achiote marinade over them until completely covered, cover with cling film, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step will help the fish become aromatic and tender for easier cooking. For the batter, place the flour in a bowl and mix with garlic powder, salt, and Rexal® baking powder using a whisk. Gradually pour in the orange soda while stirring until a thick batter forms. Reserve. After the time is up, take the fish out of the refrigerator. Take a strip of fish, making sure it doesn't have excess marinade sauce, place it on the flour, and cover it on all sides. Dip the floured strip into the batter mixture. Fry in hot vegetable oil over low heat, moving it around to cook all sides of the fish. Drain on paper towels and repeat this step until all the strips are done. Assemble your fish tacos. On a piece of warm flour tortilla, place some battered fish strips, add onion and cilantro, and accompany with pineapple, lime, and salsa to taste.
