Air Fryer Fish Tacos

Use fresh walleye filets instead of tilapia. MLGens

These crispy air-fryer fish tacos are good enough to challenge the best food truck. I love that the fish is deliciously guilt-free because it’s air-fried instead of deep-fried. —Lena Lim, Seattle, Washington

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each) Use fresh walleye instead
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg white, beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon each white pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika
  • 8 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • 1 large tomato, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Place sour cream, chiles, cilantro and lime juice in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
  2. Cut each tilapia ( use walleye)  fillet lengthwise into 2 portions. Place flour, egg white and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip in flour, then egg white, then crumbs.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°. In batches, arrange fillets in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10-12 minutes, turning once.
  4. Combine seasonings; sprinkle over fish. Place a portion of fish on each tortilla; top with about 2 tablespoons sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with tomato. If desired, top with additional cilantro.
