Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine cabbage slaw, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined and set aside.

Step 3

Mix together flour, cornmeal, and taco seasoning in a separate bowl. Add fish pieces and toss until evenly coated, discarding any remaining seasoning mix. Place in the prepared air fryer basket and mist lightly with cooking spray.

Step 4

Cook fish in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Shake the basket, and cook until fish is crispy and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5

Place cabbage slaw mixture into the air fryer basket.

Step 6

Cook until cabbage is caramelized, about 8 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

Step 7

Spoon cabbage onto tortillas and top with fish.
