Ingredients

1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup salsa
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then cut them into strips. Season the fish with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Coat the Fish: Lightly coat each piece of seasoned fish with olive oil, then dredge in panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Air Fry the Fish: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the breaded fish strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Place a few pieces of crispy fish on each tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, salsa, avocado slices, and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
