Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into strips. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.
- Breading Process: Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each fish strip in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Air Fry the Fish: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the breaded fish strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
- Make the Slaw: In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, salt, and the juice of half a lime. Toss well to combine.
- Prepare the Lime Yogurt: In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Layer each tortilla with crispy fish, slaw, and a drizzle of lime yogurt. Add sliced avocado if desired.
- Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and enjoy immediately!
