- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne (more or less for spiciness)

- ⅓ c chopped cilantro
- ½ tsp sugar (optional)
- ¼ tsp sea salt (more or less to taste)
- ¼ tsp cracked pepper
- Tortillas
- Extra lime juice
Instructions
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Combine the chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, cumin, sea salt, and cracked pepper in a small bowl to create a spice rub.
- Pat the fish dry with paper towels, then lay it in the air fryer basket.
- Brush the fish lightly with olive oil and apply the spice rub generously, pressing it gently to adhere.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Cook the fish for about 8-10 minutes, or until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Prepare the cilantro lime slaw by tossing the cole slaw mix with mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the fish from the air fryer, cut into small pieces, and place in tortillas.
- Top with cilantro lime slaw and squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos.
Notes
For best results, don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. You can substitute the fish with grilled chicken or roasted vegetables for a different protein.
