Instructions

Bread & Prepare Cod

Cut the fish filets into strips and place them in a glass dish.
Coat each piece of fish in lime juice and avocado oil. Set aside.
Mix the cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt together in a shallow dish.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil and preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
One at a time, remove the fish strips from the marinade (allowing any extra juice to drip off) and dip them in the cornmeal mixture, lightly coating each side.

Air Fry Fish

Place 5-6 pieces of fish in the air fryer basket and cook for about 8-10 minutes.
TIP: I found it best not to flip them halfway in my air fryer, since the breading can come off.
Repeat for another batch.

Mix Cabbage Slaw

While the fish pieces are cooking, mix the sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Add in the chopped cabbage and cilantro, then mix.

Prepare Tacos

Heat the tortillas on the stovetop.
Add crispy fish, cabbage slaw, cheese, more fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce to each taco. Enjoy!
