Description

These delicious fish tacos are made in the air fryer for a healthier twist! Topped with a creamy slaw and zesty lime crema, they are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 corn tortillas (for serving)
  • 2 cups cabbage (shredded)
  • 1 carrot (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (for slaw)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped, for slaw)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for crema)
  • 1 zest of lime (for crema)
  • to taste salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the fish fillets with olive oil and taco seasoning until evenly coated.
  3. Place the fish fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While the fish is cooking, prepare the creamy slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
  5. For the zesty lime crema, mix together the sour cream, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Once the fish is done, warm the corn tortillas in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes or until pliable.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing pieces of the cooked fish on each tortilla, topping with the creamy slaw and drizzling with zesty lime crema.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
