Air Fryer Baja Fish Tacos

2 pounds fresh cod, or other white, firm fish

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoons paprika

Cayenne pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon cumin

Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper, to taste

12 flour tortillas street taco size

4 cups finely shredded cabbage slaw

Lime wedges, for serving

Cooking spray

Fish Taco Sauce

1 cup mayonnaise

4 tablespoons sour cream OR Greek yogurt

Juice from 2 limes

2 whole chipotle peppers minced + 1 teaspoon adobo sauce

2 teaspoons honey or more to taste

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Kosher salt, to taste

Blend fish taco sauce in a small bowl. Transfer to the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat.

Combine chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, cumin, sea salt and black pepper in another small bowl.

Cut fish into 1″ thick pieces of cod about the length of your tortilla.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.

Pat pieces of fish dry with paper towels then brush all sides with oil.

Generously season with spice mix and transfer to the preheated air fryer in a single layer then lightly spray the top of each piece of fish with cooking spray.

Air fry 6-8 minutes or until cooked through to an internal temp of 145 degrees.

To assemble: lightly char tortillas over a low flame on the stove-top. You can also do this in a skillet or simply warm in the microwave.

Spread a dollop of chipotle sauce down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with slaw then lay fish on top. Serve with lime wedges.
