Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 pound mild white fish fillets like Halibut Tilapia, Cod, Mahi Mahi or Rockfish (about 1-inch thick)
- 8-16 flour or corn tortillas warmed , 5 or 6 inch size
- olive oil or vegetable oil for greasing the air fryer basket
Optional Toppings
- mango salsa, pico de gallo, sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, jalapeño, lime wedges, shredded lettuce, thin sliced green or red cabbage, diced red onion, cilantro, hot sauce or taco sauce
Instructions
- Rinse the fish in cold water then pat dry with paper towels.
- Combine all the seasonings with the olive oil and lime juice to make a paste. Brush or spoon the paste over the fish. If using skinless fish you can put the seasoning on both sides of the fillet. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to air fry, grill or bake (up to 1 hour.)
- Preheat the air fryer to 400℉ for 5 minutes. Lightly grease the basket with oil. Place the fish in the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes at 400℉. Check the fish and see if it easily flakes or if it’s translucent in the center when checked with the tip of a paring knife. Continue cooking for 1 or 2 minutes as needed until cooked through.
- While the fish is cooking heat the tortillas in the microwave or lightly char in a skillet. Wrap the warm tortillas in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.
- Divide the fish between the warmed tortillas. Top with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe makes 8 tacos with 2 ounces of fish on each. If using loads of toppings you could get away with 1 ounce of fish for each taco. That would stretch this recipe to 16 (5-inch) street-style tacos.
The fish can be cooked in the air fryer, on the stove-top, griddle or grill, or baked in the oven. See the full post for suggestions and how-to instructions.
