Air Fryer Fish Tacos is made with white fish, flour, 1 egg, panko breadcrumbs; air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes to serve 4. 320 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cut fish into strips. Season with salt. Dredge in flour, egg, then panko mixed with cumin and chili powder.
- 2
Spray all sides with cooking spray.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and fish flakes easily.
- 4
Toss cabbage with the spicy lime crema.
- 5
Assemble tacos with fish, slaw, cilantro, pickled jalapeños, avocado, and a squeeze of lime.
Tip: The spicy crema-dressed slaw is what makes these — don't skip it. Warm your tortillas in the air fryer for 30 seconds at the end. Double up the corn tortillas so they don't tear. Mahi mahi has more flavor; cod is more traditional for Baja-style.
