These fish tacos are food truck-worthy but air fryer-easy, which is why you’ll find yourself making them a little too often for a weeknight dinner. Sorry, not sorry. Also not sorry about the crunchy slaw that’s so good, you’ll find yourself eating it on its own. MORE+ LESS-

Expert Tips

Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
For even more flavor, top with [Yum Yum Sauce].
Be gentle when turning fish to prevent pieces from falling apart.
Our recipes do not call for preheating your air fryer. Just set the temperature, and start. Never preheat with parchment paper alone.
