I first tasted a fish taco on vacation in San Diego. It wasn’t like any other taco I’d had before: It was filled with lightly spicy, tender fish and a fresh, citrus-spiked vegetable topping, whereas most of the other tacos I’d eaten had crunchy shells and ground beef. The bright, punchy flavor was a revelation! However, I don’t love deep-frying, so I resigned myself to enjoying fish tacos from food trucks instead of making them at home\u2014that is, until I found this recipe for air-fryer fish tacos. Like many other air-fryer recipes<\/a>, they’re easy, quick and a bit healthier than their deep-fried counterparts.<\/p>\n A really good fish taco has three key parts: Fish that has a perfectly crunchy outside and a tender inside; a sauce that’s creamy, spicy and tangy, and a dollop of something fresh and crunchy on top, whether that’s simple shredded vegetables or an elaborate homemade slaw. Making air-fryer fish tacos at home means you can adjust each part to your liking, adding spice, using a different kind of fish or loading up on fresh herbs. The result? A meal worthy of your favorite Mexican restaurant\u2014no reservation or take-out order required!<\/p>\n Place the sour cream, chiles, cilantro and lime juice in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.<\/p>\n Cut each tilapia fillet lengthwise into two portions. Place the flour, egg white and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip the tilapia pieces in the flour first, then the egg white, then the crumbs.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Flip the fish to coat both sides in batter.<\/p>\n Preheat the air fryer to 400\u00b0F. In batches, arrange the fillets in a single layer on a greased tray in the air-fryer basket, spritzing the fish with cooking spray. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.<\/p>\n Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> In our testing, we find that cook times vary dramatically among different brands of air fryers. As a result, we give wider than normal ranges on suggested cook times. Begin checking at the first time listed and adjust as needed.<\/p>\n Combine the salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika, and sprinkle over the cooked fish. Place a portion of fish onto each tortilla and top with about 2 tablespoons of the sour cream sauce. Sprinkle with tomato. If desired, top with shredded cabbage, carrots and additional cilantro.<\/p>\n Each component of the leftover air-fried fish tacos should be stored in separate airtight containers. Keep everything but the tortillas in the refrigerator. The sauce and fish will keep for two to three days, while the tortillas and toppings will keep for a week.<\/p>\n Reheat the fish in the air fryer until warmed through, about five minutes. You may also reheat in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. We don’t recommend heating in the microwave, as it will make the breading soggy.<\/p>\n Yes, you can use frozen fish to make air-fryer fish tacos. In fact, frozen fish is often a great choice, especially if you don’t live near a coast. The best frozen fish fillets<\/a> are frozen when the fish is very fresh, so it will generally have a good texture and mild flavor. You can defrost the fish in the refrigerator overnight or fill a bowl with hot water, placing the fish in a plastic resealable bag in the water until the fish has some elasticity. Then proceed with the recipe as directed.<\/p>\n There are so many ways to make fish tacos! Prep a beer batter to make fried fish tacos<\/a>, or forgo the batter and air fryer and make skillet fish tacos<\/a> with guacamole or Baja fish tacos<\/a> with a dash of lime.<\/p>\n The USDA says the food-safe cooking temperature<\/a> for fish is 145\u00b0, but it’s usually not necessary to check the temperature. Cooked fish will be opaque and the flesh will flake easily. In fact, it’s more common to overcook fish than undercook it, which can make the fish a bit tough. Once it turns opaque, check it often, using a fork to test for flakiness.<\/p>\n We love serving fish tacos with fresh cabbage slaw, such as mango slaw<\/a>. You can also serve fish tacos with your favorite Spanish rice recipe<\/a> and beans<\/a>. For a more special meal, serve a Mexican side dish<\/a>. And of course, a batch of margaritas<\/a> is a classic cocktail pairing for tacos.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crispy, crunchy air-fryer fish tacos are a classic So-Cal dish
