Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. Lemon Pepper Nut Crumbs
- 1 lb. white fish (cod or halibut are a great choice!)
- 1/2 c. almond milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c. shredded cabbage
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 c. mayonnaise
- 1 T. Tapatio or your favorite hot sauce
- 1 lime
- 1/4 jalapeรฑo (optional)
- 1/2 c. cotija cheese
- 6 tortillas (corn or Siete Almond flour)
Directions:
- Start by cleaning your fish and slicing in appropriate fish taco size (about 1in x 3in depending the size of your tortilla).
- In a small bowl, whisk together almond milk and egg. Pour out the Lemon Pepper Nut Crumbs on a plate.
- Dip the fish in the egg wash and then fully coat in the crumbs.
- Using an air fryer, spray the bottom of the bucket with some type of oil. We prefer avocado oil.
- Place fish in the air fryer and cook on the fish setting (400 degrees) for about 10-12 minutes.
- While the fish is cooking…whisk together mayo, Tapatio, and a squeeze of lime in a small bowl. Assemble the other garnishes and place in bowls for a toppings bar! Slice the lime wedges, avocado, jalapeรฑos, and crumble the Cotija cheese.
- Warm up the tortillas in a hot pan with a little slab of butter or some more avocado spray.
- Remove the fish from the air fryer and start building your taco! We topped ours with slices of avocado, jalapeรฑos, cabbage, cotija, and a drizzle of that yummy Tapatio mayo. Finish off with a fresh lime squeeze and enjoy!
