Air Fryer Baja Fish Tacos

Ingredients

For the tacos:

• 1 lb. white fish (e.g. cod, tilapia, halibut, or mahi-mahi)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten with 1-2 tsp. water
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (try making your own!)
• 1/2 tsp. ancho chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp. cumin
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. cracked pepper
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne (more or less for spiciness)
• 8 small corn tortillas, warmed
• 1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
• 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro, for serving
• 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

For the chipotle crema:

• 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
• 1-2 small chipotle peppers in adobo
• 3/4 tsp. chipotle powder
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder

Method

First, make the chipotle crema by combining all the ingredients in a mini food processor and blending until smooth. Transfer to a bowl or squeeze bottle and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Next, cut the fish into 1-inch strips and set up a breading station. In one bowl, combine the panko with some of the baja seasoning. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a little water or beer. Working in batches, dip the fish into the egg mixture, then coat with the panko mixture. Make sure the fish is coated on all sides. Transfer to a clean platter and repeat. Once finished, lightly spray the top of the coated fish with olive oil spray.

Preheat your air fryer to 390°F-400°F and spray the basket or pan with olive oil. Work in batches, air frying the breaded fish for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 145°F. The fish should be golden brown.

While the fish is cooking, lightly toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until warm and lightly golden, about 30 seconds on each side. Keep warm in a clean kitchen towel.

To serve, fill the tortillas with the crispy fish, then top with shredded cabbage, avocado, pico de gallo, and a drizzle of the chipotle crema. Finish with a squeeze of lime.

Tips:

• You can omit the egg mixture and panko and just season the fish with the baja seasoning if desired.
• Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
• Baste the fish with oil or cooking spray before air frying to help it crisp up.
• Serve the fish tacos immediately for the best flavour and texture.

Tips:

• To reheat your fried foods, let them come up to room temperature and then bake briefly in a 400-degree oven. Use a wire rack atop a baking sheet to keep too much steam from making things soggy.
• To ensure that your zucchini fries are golden and crispy, pat your pieces of zucchini dry with paper towels before breading them.
• Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Make sure there's space in between each fry and there's no overlap. Similarly, only cook a single layer at a time.
