Tilapia – 1 1/4 pounds of fresh tilapia, skin removed. You can use any white fish of choice of course though!
Chili Powder – 1 teaspoon.
Oregano – 1/2 teaspoon.
Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon.
Paprika – 1/2 teaspoon.
Cayenne Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon.
Smoked Paprika – 1/4 teaspoon.
Onion Powder – 1/2 teaspoon.
Cumin – 1/2 teaspoon.

My Fish Taco Sauce

Here is what I mix together to make my low calorie fish taco sauce if you are interested:

1/3 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp honey
Dash of chipotle pepper (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste

Optional Fillings

Cabbage
Onion
Cilantro
Lime juice
Avocado

How To Make It

Combine all of the ingredients for your sauce (if desired) in a small bowl and set aside in the fridge while you make your tacos.
Mix together all the seasonings for the fish in a small bowl. Evenly coat both sides of the fish.
Place in air fryer basket and spray with nonstick spray. Air fry for 10 minutes at 400°F.
Assemble your tacos and enjoy!

My Taco Holders

I have gotten a MILLION question on Instagram of where my taco holders are from! They are the absolute best! I love them because they are dishwasher friendly and come in a pack of 6 so they are perfect for a family or group! They just really enhance the whole taco eating process haha! These are from Amazon and you can find them here!

How To Store Leftovers

You can store your leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When you are ready to enjoy your leftover fish, just pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so. You can also reheatit in the air fryer or oven at a low temperature if you would like.

My favorite storage containers are by the brand Razab. I do giveaways with them and truly love their products so much. All of their containers are BPA free, oven safe, freezer safe, dishwasher save, and have steam release valves! You can find them on Amazon here.
