Crispy, crunchy air-fryer fish tacos are a classic So-Cal dish that's easy to replicate at home, no matter how far you are from the ocean.

Ingredients

3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 to 2 dashes hot pepper sauce, optional

4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg white, beaten

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

Cooking spray

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon each white pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika

8 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed

1 large tomato, finely chopped

Optional: Shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced radishes and additional cilantro

Instructions

1 Make the sauce

2 Place the sour cream, chiles, cilantro and lime juice in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.

3 Bread the fish

4 Cut each tilapia fillet lengthwise into two portions. Place the flour, egg white and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip the tilapia pieces in the flour first, then the egg white, then the crumbs. Editor's Tip: Flip the fish to coat both sides in batter.

5 Air-fry the fish

6 Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. In batches, arrange the fillets in a single layer on a greased tray in the air-fryer basket, spritzing the fish with cooking spray. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. Test Kitchen Tip: In our testing, we find that cook times vary dramatically among different brands of air fryers. As a result, we give wider than normal ranges on suggested cook times. Begin checking at the first time listed and adjust as needed.

7 Assemble the tacos

8 Combine the salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika, and sprinkle over the cooked fish. Place a portion of fish onto each tortilla and top with about 2 tablespoons of the sour cream sauce. Sprinkle with tomato. If desired, top with shredded cabbage, carrots and additional cilantro.
