Air Fryer Crispy Blackened Fish Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 ears corn, kernels cut from the cob
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound tilapia fillets
  • cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup blackened seasoning
  • 4 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for optimal results.
2
Combine black beans, corn, olive oil, lime juice, and salt in a bowl to create a harmonious blend of flavors. Gently stir until the beans and corn are evenly coated; set aside to await further preparation.
3
Lay fish fillets on a clean, flat surface and gently pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Lightly spray each fillet with cooking spray and sprinkle 1/2 of the blackened seasoning over the top, taking care not to overpower the delicate flavor of the fish. Flip fillets over and spray with cooking spray, then sprinkle with the remaining seasoning to achieve a balanced flavor profile.
4
Place fish fillets in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer, working in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding. Cook for 2 minutes, then carefully flip the fish and cook for an additional 2 minutes; transfer to a plate to admire your handiwork.
5
Place the bean and corn mixture in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. This step requires patience, but the end result will be well worth it.
6
Place cooked fish fillets into corn tortillas and top with the bean and corn mixture, creating a delicious fusion of flavors. Serve with lime wedges on the side and hot sauce for added zing.
