- 1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, lime wedges, your favorite salsa or hot sauce
- In a bowl, toss the fish pieces with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned fish in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
- While the fish is cooking, warm the tortillas according to package directions (you can also warm them briefly in the air fryer or a dry skillet).
- Assemble your tacos by filling the warm tortillas with the air-fried fish and your desired toppings.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges and your favorite salsa.
Notes
- For extra crispy fish, you can lightly dust the seasoned fish pieces with a little cornstarch before air frying.
- Feel free to adjust the spices to your preference. A pinch of paprika can add a nice color and flavor.
- Experiment with different types of white fish based on what’s available and your taste.
