Description

These blackened tilapia fish tacos are simple in the air fryer--air-frying the fish quickly at a high temperature results in a crispy crust but keeps the fish moist and flaky.

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

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Combine black beans, corn, olive oil, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Gently stir until beans and corn are evenly coated; set aside.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Place bean and corn mixture in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
6 Place fish into corn tortillas and top with bean and corn mixture. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce.
