Fish Taco Bowl
I like taco bowls, so why not make a fish taco bowl! It’s super easy made with bite-sized fish, seasoned with Cajun seasoning, and cooked within the air fryer for six minutes! Should you don’t have an air fryer, just make this in a skillet as a substitute! I got my hands on some blackfish and heard it was great for fish tacos, so I turned it into this quick bowl with a veggie slaw as the bottom drizzled with spicy mayo, so good! This bowl is spicy, fresh, and flavorful and takes only minutes to whip up! More of my favorite air fryer recipes are Tzatziki fish tacos, Air Fryer Fried Shrimp Sandwich, and Air Fryer Salmon!
You possibly can turn any taco right into a bowl which I often like to do! This was more like a salad, but when you should add grains add some brown rice or quinoa.
Fish Taco Bowl Ingredients
- Fish: White flaky fish is best for tacos. I used blackfish here, but cod, mahi mahi, halibut, or flounder would also work. Spritz the fish with olive oil and sprinkle it with Cajun seasoning.
- Fish Taco Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, sriracha or chipotle en adobo sauce, and lime juice and add enough water so it’s easy to drizzle.
- Cabbage Slaw: This easy slaw for fish tacos consists of coleslaw mix (red and white cabbage and shredded carrots) tossed in olive oil, lime juice, and salt. You possibly can cut your individual cabbage and carrots, however the premade mixes are an enormous timesaver.
- Garnish: Serve these fish taco bowls with lime wedges and fresh cilantro.
Variations:
- Fish Taco Seasoning: Should you don’t like spicy food, swap the Cajun seasoning for Tajin or chili lime seasoning.
- Carbs: Should you desire a more substantial meal, add some rice or black beans to the bowl.
- Fish Taco Toppings: Top your bowl with cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, or bell pepper. And should you’d wish to add cheese, cotija or queso fresco could be delicious.
- Herbs: Should you don’t like cilantro, skip it or sub it with chives.
- No air fryer, no problem! Heat a skillet on high heat, spray it with oil, and cook the fish for five to 6 minutes.
