Instructions

1. Step 1: For the keto tortillas, in a bowl whisk together 1 cup almond flour, 2 tbsp coconut flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt (tortillas). Add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tbsp olive oil, stirring until a thick dough forms. Divide into 6 balls and flatten each between parchment paper into 6-inch circles.
2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla 1-2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside wrapped in a clean towel to keep warm.
3. Step 3: For the fish coating, mix 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a shallow bowl.
4. Step 4: Beat 2 large eggs in another bowl. Dip 1 lb white fish strips first into the beaten eggs, then dredge them in the spiced almond flour mixture.
5. Step 5: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with olive oil spray. Arrange fish strips in a single layer and spray tops lightly with olive oil spray.
6. Step 6: Air fry the fish strips at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
7. Step 7: While fish cooks, prepare the sauce by mixing 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 medium mashed avocado, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth.
8. Step 8: Assemble tacos by layering the keto tortillas with a handful of 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage, air-fried fish strips, and a drizzle of avocado sauce. Serve immediately.
