Ingredients

Scale

Fish and Seasoning

  • 4 firm white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia), about 6 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Slaw

  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt (plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Additional Toppings and Serving

  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Extra fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Fresh lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep and Season the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness. Rub each fillet evenly with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let the fish rest while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Prepare the Slaw and Sauce: In a bowl, combine shredded green and red cabbage with fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro to make a vibrant slaw. In another bowl, mix the dairy-free yogurt (plant-based), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), lime juice, and natural gelling agent if using, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. Air Fry the Fish: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned fish fillets in the air fryer basket without overcrowding, allowing space for air circulation. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is golden, crispy, and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in a damp cloth and microwave for about 20 seconds, or warm them briefly in a hot skillet until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble Your Tacos: Place a fish fillet on each warm tortilla. Top with a generous portion of cabbage slaw, avocado slices, and a drizzle of the creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice to finish.

Notes

  • Pat Fish Dry: Ensures the fish becomes crispy in the air fryer.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Cook fish fillets with space between them for even cooking.
  • Use Fresh Limes: Fresh juice brightens the slaw and sauce perfectly.
  • Keep Tortillas Warm: Warm tortillas hold fillings better and are easier to fold.
  • Quick Sauce Prep: Prepare the sauce while the fish cooks to save time.
