Instructions
Warm the Tortillas
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wrap 4 tortillas in aluminum foil. Repeat with next set of four.
- Warm tortillas in oven 15-20 minutes. Prep the fish and make crema and salad during the cook time.
- Remove tortillas from oven and keep in a warm place.
Make the Fish Rub
- Combine all the spices together and sprinkle them on both sides of the fish.
- Spray air fryer basket with non stick cooking spray or rub lightly with oil and set aside. Set air fryer 425 degrees, select air fry function, and set timer for five minutes. While this cooks, you may make the lime crema and purple cabbage salad
- Flip fish over in air fryer and cook for another five minutes. Keep an eye on the fish during this time, as all air fryers vary. You can tell it’s ready when fish flakes easily when checked with a fork with a fork.
- Remove fish from air fryer and shred the fish with two forks, just as you would with chicken.
Lime Crema
- Combine all seven ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Purple Cabbage Salad
- Combine all ingredients and stir.
Assemble the Tacos
- Divide fish evenly among tortillas, top each with 1/4 cup of cabbage, one tablespoon crema, 1/8 avocado, one ounce cheese, 1 tablespoon pico de gallo, and jalapeño to preference.
Notes
Besides cod, any white fish will work, such as halibut, tilapia, mahi-mahi, snapper, bass, and catfish. Use what is best available. To make this meal more kid-friendly, sub out fish for frozen fish sticks and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for ten minutes.
To save steps and further reduce fat, opting out of the cabbage salad is fine. Just use shredded cabbage instead. Also, omitting the cheese and avocado reduces fat and calories, yet remains highly flavorful. Subbing in a spicy salsa tastes great, too!
Any remaining spice mix may be used on any other future taco variations, or on any other protein.
