Fish Tacos with Avocado Salsa
Tex-Mex food doesn’t have to feel heavy or be high in calories. And nothing is more Tex-Mex than tacos and salsa—all made easier with the air fryer.
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
3⁄4 tsp. kosher salt
3⁄4 freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. cod, cut into 16 strips
2 TB. canola oil
8 six-inch corn tortillas
1 avocado, diced
1 cup tomato, chopped
1⁄4 cup white onion, chopped
1⁄4 tsp. kosher salt
Squeeze of fresh lime juice
1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
2. Place the all-purpose flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs into 3 separate shallow bowls, then season each with 1⁄4 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon of black pepper.
3. Dredge the fish strips in the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs.
4. Spray the fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray, then drizzle 4 fish strips with 1 tablespoon of canola oil, place in the basket, and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Remove the strips from the basket and place on a wire rack. Repeat this process with the remaining fish strips.
6. While the fish strips cook, make the salsa in a medium bowl by mashing together the avocado, tomato, onion, kosher salt, and lime juice. Set aside.
7. Remove the fish from the fryer and place 2 strips in each corn tortilla, then add 1⁄4 cup of avocado salsa. (You can also use other toppings, like shredded lettuce or hot sauce.) Serve warm.
