Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 7–10 minutes
Total Time: 32–35 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound fish fillets
• ¼ teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon coriander
• ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon oil
• Cooking spray
• 6–8 corn or flour tortillas (6-inch size)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin by slicing the fish fillets into strips approximately ½-inch thick.
2. Place the fish strips in a sealable plastic bag along with cumin, coriander, ground red pepper, lime zest, smoked paprika, and oil. Gently massage the seasonings into the fish until they are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare the air fryer basket by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the seasoned fish inside.
4. Cook the fish at 390°F for approximately 5 minutes. Give the basket a shake to distribute the fish, and then cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
5. While the fish is cooking, create the Jalapeño-Lime Sauce. Mix together the sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, minced jalapeño (flesh only), and cumin until you achieve a smooth sauce. Set this flavorful sauce aside.
6. Combine the shredded Napa cabbage, slivered bell pepper, and slivered onion in a bowl and set it aside.
7. To warm refrigerated tortillas, wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
8. When ready to serve, spoon a portion of the cooked fish into a warm tortilla. Add one or two tablespoons of the Napa Cabbage Garnish and finish with a drizzle of the tantalizing Jalapeño-Lime Sauce.

TIP:

• For those seeking an extra kick of heat, consider including some of the jalapeño seeds in the sauce. This will take the heat level up a notch, adding a spicy punch to your culinary creation.
• Serve these with either corn or flour tortillas. The Napa Cabbage Garnish adds a nice crunch that perfectly complements the fish.
