Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Slaw

Hold on to your hats people.  My friend, Lindsey, sent me this recipe and it has instantly become a new favorite.  I've never been a huge fan of fish in general, but I've been working on that.  Eating a fish taco was not on my list of things I must try.  This recipe not only smells fabulous, it is absolutely delicious!  You'll be hooked and make it a regular if you take a chance to try it.  

For the Fish:

1 1/2 lb tilapia, cod or white fish

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne

1//4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp cracked pepper

For the Cilantro Lime Slaw

2 1/2 cups coleslaw mix

3 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 Tbsp lime juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp cracked pepper

For Fish Taco Sauce: 

3 Tbsp sour cream

2 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp lime juice

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

For Taco Assembly:

Warm tortillas

Extra lime juice

Spray the air fryer basket with oil.  In a small bowl, mix the spices, salt and pepper well to combine.

Pat fish dry and then lay it in the air fryer basket.  Brush with olive oil.  Generously cover the fish with the spice rub and gently press it into the fish.  spritz over top of the fish with oil to help it all hold to the fish and stay moist.  Flip fish and season the other side.

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.  Heat the fish for about 8 - 10 minutes or until opaque and easily flakes.  

While the fish cooks, toss together the ingredients for the cilantro lime slaw.  Adjust the salt to taste or add more lime juice as desired.  Combine ingredients for the taco sauce and stir well.  

When the fish is cooked, remove from the air fryer basket.  Cut into small pieces and add to tortillas and top with slaw.  Add an extra squeeze of lime.  Top with Fish Taco Sauce.
