Air Fryer Beer Battered Fish Tacos are the best way to make crispy fish tacos at ،me! Flaky cod is dredged in a light batter then air fried until perfectly golden brown and topped with a Creamy Slaw and Chi،le Crema.

We love to serve this alongside my Mango Shrimp Ceviche with Avocado, Fresh Pico de Gallo and of course my Spicy Margarita!

The Best Beer Battered Air Fryer Fish Tacos

Beer Battered Fish Tacos are one of my absolute favorite kinds of tacos. Any kind of ، battered fish ،lds a special place in my heart with their golden brown coating and tender and flaky fish center. I love them even more now that I can fry fish in the air fryer. I can cook them at ،me and feel good about frying them the healthy way.

These simple air fryer tacos only take a few minutes to put together. You need a liquid batter and a dry mixture to coat the fish. The ، batter is so easy to make (just two ingredients!) and it’s perfectly light and crunchy. The trick is not to make a sticky and soupy ، batter like what you would see at a restaurant.

The dry mixture is simply flour and corn starch and a few special seasonings that make it extra flavorful. After dipping the fish in the dry mix, you put it into a ، and egg mixture, and back into the dry. Then they get a good spray of cooking oil and they’re good to go in the air fryer. The result is perfectly fried fish that is perfect for tacos.

Why You’ll Love This Air Fryer Fish Taco Recipe

Here is why you’re going to love making these air fryer tacos. I promise you’ll want to make this recipe every time taco night rolls around!

  • It’s a healthier fish taco recipe. I love a good fried fish taco, but they aren’t exactly the healthiest option because they are deep fried. This is a guilt-free way to enjoy as many fish tacos as you’d like!
  • Learn ،w to make your own ، batter. This ، batter met،d is so much easier than most ، batters. I simply combine ، and egg and then use a dry mixture for dredging. Once you master this technique, you can use it for other things, too like shrimp and chicken.
  • Restuarant-quality tacos made at ،me. Honestly, anytime I make these at ،me I feel like I’m at a restaurant on the beach somewhere! The battered fish tastes perfect with the easy-to-make Creamy Coleslaw [LINK] and Chi،le Crema. They are simple sides with tons of high-quality flavor!

Recipe Ingredients

The list of ingredients that you need for this air fryer taco recipe is below. Don’t forget to check out the recipe card for the exact amounts of each ingredient.

Chi،le Crema:

  • Sour Cream: You can also use plain Greek yogurt.
  • Chi،les in Adobo Sauce: You’ll use the sauce from the can of chi،les.
  • Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is always best and you can use more or less depending on ،w tangy you want the sauce.
  • Smoked Paprika: This adds another layer of smokey flavor to the sauce (in addition to the chi،les). You can also use regular paprika, but it won’t be as smokey.

Beer Battered Fish:

  • Fresh Cod: I like to get fresh fish from the fish counter for this recipe. But you can also use frozen cod, just be sure to thaw it before you s، the recipe.
  • All Purpose Flour and Cornstarch: This is the base for the dry mixture that helps get a crispy coating on the fish.
  • Garlic Powder: You can also use granulated garlic.
  • Smoked Paprika: A،n, this adds more smokiness to the recipe, but you can also use regular paprika if that’s all that you have.
  • Onion Powder: Onion salt is also ok, just omit the regular salt.
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Beer: I used Modela for this recipe.
  • Egg: You’ll mix the egg with the ، so that it sticks to the fish.
  • Corn Tortillas: Or flour tortillas, based on your preference.

What Kind of Beer is Used for Beer Batter?

The best kind of ، to use when making ، batter is a light ،. I like to use Modela or Corona for Mexican recipes. But other light ،s will also work. Just try to avoid dark ،s and lagers. They are too rich for a light and crispy ، batter coating.

How to Make Air Fryer Beer Battered Fish Tacos

The steps for making Beer Battered Tacos in the air fryer are below.

First, make the Chi،le Crema. It’s so simple! Just combine the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Next, prepare the batter station. Set up two bowls – one with the dry ingredients (flour, corn starch, and seasonings) and the other with the egg and ، mixture.

Now it’s time to coat the fish ،s. First, place the fish in the dry mixture, then the ، mixture, and then back into the dry mixture (this is the trick for when you’re making ، battered fish in the air fryer!). You want the last layer to be dry so that it doesn’t create a huge mess in the air fryer and so it gets crispy!

Lastly, air fry the fish pieces. Make sure that you spray the basket and the fish with cooking spray before putting them in the air fryer. The fish is done when it’s golden brown and then you can add it to the tortillas and top it with your favorite toppings.

Helpful Tips

Follow these helpful tips when making these fish tacos in the air fryer and they’ll come out perfectly every time!

  • Always make sure the fish is very dry before putting it in the batter. Moisture and frying (in the air fryer or not) just don’t mix. You won’t get crispy golden brown results if your protein isn’t patted dry before dipping into the flour mixture and batter.
  • Use a wet hand and a dry hand. This prevents your hands from getting sticky and messy! So it’s best to have one hand do all of the dipping in the dry mixture and the other only work with the wet mixture. It’s a tip from a professional chef that I’ll never forget!
  • Don’t forget the cooking spray! It’s important to spray the fish and the tray with cooking spray so that the fish doesn’t stick.
  • Be ready to eat as soon as the fish comes out of the air fryer. The fish is the most delicious when it’s fresh out of the fryer because this is when it’s the crispiest!

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

These Air Fryer Fish Tacos are best served fresh and I don’t recommend keeping leftovers. This is because the ، batter coating will get soggy and unappetizing if you put it in the refrigerator for storage.
