Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound firm white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia), cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 small corn or flour tortillas
- For the Cabbage Slaw:
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the fish: In a bowl, toss the fish strips with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
- Place the seasoned fish in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
- While the fish cooks, make the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded green and red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions (a quick warm in a dry skillet works well).
- Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the cooked fish into each warm tortilla. Top generously with the crunchy cabbage slaw. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the fish seasoning mix.
- If you prefer a tangier slaw, substitute the Greek yogurt with mayonnaise or sour cream.
- This recipe is great for quick seafood weeknight meals.
