Can I use frozen fish for these tacos?

Absolutely! Just thaw completely first and pat extra dry - frozen fish tends to release more moisture. You might need an extra minute or two in the air fryer too.

How can I make the tacos spicier?

Easy! Add extra cayenne to your blackened seasoning or sprinkle with chili flakes after cooking. I sometimes add a few dashes of hot sauce to the sour cream too.

What if I don't have blackened seasoning?

No worries! Mix together 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano, plus 1/2 tsp cayenne for heat. It'll give you that same delicious flavor.

Can I prep these ahead?

You can season the fish up to 2 hours before cooking (keep chilled). But for best texture, cook and assemble right before eating!

Why are my tortillas getting soggy?

Make sure to let the fish cool slightly before assembling, and don't overload with wet toppings. I always serve the sour cream and lime wedges on the side too.
