Ingredients
Scale
- 12-16 ounces rockfish fillets, cut into 1-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons flour (wondra or all purpose)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2-3 teaspoons valentina, cholula or your favorite hot sauce
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- zest of ½ lime
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups finely crushed tortilla chips (about 3 oz / half a standard bag)
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Pat rockfish strips dry using paper towels. Toss the strips in flour until they are lightly coated, shaking off excess flour.
- In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, hot sauce, grated garlic, lime zest, lime juice, and salt until smooth.
- Gently mix the flour-dusted fish strips into the aioli, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place crushed tortilla chips in a shallow dish. Add a few fish strips at a time, pressing and rolling them into the chips until all sides are coated.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the coated fish strips in a single layer without touching. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through (145°F internal temperature).
- Serve immediately in warm tortillas topped with pico de gallo, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
Adjust the hot sauce to control the spice level according to your taste.
For a healthier option, serve with fresh vegetables or salad on the side.
Ensure fish is cooked thoroughly for the best flavor and texture.
