🐟 Ingredients
For the Fish:
- 3 tilapia filets
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Avocado oil spray
For the Lime Slaw:
- ¾ bag coleslaw mix
- Juice of 1 lime
- ¾ tsp sugar
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Dash of chili powder
To Serve:
- Low-carb tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Crumbled cotija cheese

🔥 Instructions
1. Season the fish:
In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pat tilapia dry, lightly spray with avocado oil, and rub the spice blend evenly over each filet.
2. Air fry to perfection:
Place the fish in your air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, or until flaky and golden around the edges.
3. Make the lime slaw:
In a mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix, lime juice, sugar, salt, and a dash of chili powder. Toss until the cabbage is evenly coated and crisp with a light tang.
4. Assemble the tacos:
Flake the fish with a fork and layer it onto warm tortillas. Top with lime slaw, a sprinkle of cilantro, a crumble of cotija cheese, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
