Air Fryer Blackened Fish Tacos Food

AIR FRYER BLACKENED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine black beans, corn, olive oil, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Gently stir until beans and corn are evenly coated; set aside.
• Lay fish fillets on a clean work surface and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly spray each fillet with cooking spray and sprinkle 1/2 of the blackened seasoning over the top. Flip fillets over, spray with cooking spray, and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning.
• Place fish in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2 minutes. Flip fish and cook 2 more minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Place bean and corn mixture in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Place fish into corn tortillas and top with bean and corn mixture. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce.

BLACKENED CATFISH TACOS

Steps:

• Coat a grill rack with oil and preheat the grill on high for 5 minutes.
• Place the blackening seasoning in a shallow baking dish. Roll the catfish in the seasoning until well coated. Reduce the grill to medium-high, and grill the onions over direct heat until well browned and wilting, turning once, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the fish over direct heat until cooked through, turning once, about 6 minutes. At the same time, place the tortillas directly on the grill for 1 minute per side. Stack the tortillas and wrap them in foil or a clean towel to keep warm.
• Arrange the fish on a plate, and flake into bite-size pieces with a fork. Transfer the onions to a separate plate. Place the tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, lime wedges and cilantro in separate bowls. Set out with the warm tortillas and hot sauce, and invite guests to make their own tacos.

AIR FRYER BLACKENED CATFISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk melted butter, olive oil, and blackened seasoning together in a small bowl until it forms a paste. Brush paste on both sides of the catfish fillets.
• Place fillets in the basket of the air fryer and cook until fish is browned and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

BLACKENED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the mixture as evenly as possible over both sides of the fish fillets.
• Combine all of the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well-combined; set aside.
• Combine all of the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the fillets (a few at a time if you can't fit them all at once). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is blackened and the fish flakes apart easily. Note: try not to move them around so as to achieve a blackening affect. Too much movement, also, encourages the spice mixture to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the fish from the heat, and if desired, warm the tortillas in the same skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Break up the cooked fillets into 2-3" pieces. Distribute the fish evenly between the tortillas and top with Slaw and Avocado-Cilantro Sauce. You may garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves and/or jalapeno, if desired.
