Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 whitefish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crispiness)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Preparation Instructions:

  1. Prepare the breading station:
    • Place the flour in one shallow dish.
    • Beat the egg in another dish.
    • In a third dish, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Coat the fish:

    • Dredge each strip in flour, dip it in egg, and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Preheat the air fryer:
    • Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Cook the fish:
    • Arrange the fish strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
    • Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Prepare the sauce:
    • In a small bowl, mix sour cream (or yogurt) with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Assemble the tacos:
    • Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave.
    • Place a piece of fish in each tortilla, then top with shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of the sauce.
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
