Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
Fish and Seasoning
- 1 lb cod fillets cut into strips
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 avocado sliced

Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the cod fillets into even strips. In a mixing bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat each piece of fish with the seasoning mixture and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Set your air fryer to 400°F and preheat for a few minutes before adding the fish.
- Place the seasoned fish strips in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fish is crispy and cooked through.
Serving
- Warm the corn tortillas using a skillet or microwave. Place a few pieces of cooked fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage and avocado slices. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving.
- Serve your fish tacos immediately with additional lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
Storage
- Place any leftover fish in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness before serving.
