How to Make This air fryer cod wraps Recipe

1. 1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

1. 2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

1. 3. Brush the cod fillets with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

1. 4. Place the seasoned cod fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. If necessary, cook in batches.

1. 5. Air fry for 8 10 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Pro Tip: Don’t overcook it or your cod will be dry.

1. 6. While the cod is cooking, prepare the wraps. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. This is your slaw!

1. 7. Warm the tortillas to make them more pliable. You can do this in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds.

1. 8. Once the cod is cooked, gently flake it with a fork.

1. 9. Assemble the wraps: Place a portion of the flaked cod in the center of each tortilla. Top with the slaw and a drizzle of your favorite sauce.

1. 10. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh air fryer cod wraps. For an extra flavour, try the Air Fryer Cod Pasta 2!

How to Serve This air fryer cod wraps Recipe

Serve these air fryer cod wraps immediately for the best flavor and texture. They’re great as an easy lunch or a light dinner served with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp salad.

Consider adding a dollop of guacamole or a sprinkle of chopped green onions for extra flavor and visual appeal. Pair these wraps with a light and refreshing beverage like sparkling water with lime or a crisp white wine.

The plating is simple: arrange the filled wraps on a plate and garnish with a sprig of cilantro and a lime wedge.

How to Store This air fryer cod wraps Recipe

If you have leftovers, store the cod and the slaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Storing them separately prevents the wraps from becoming soggy.

The cooked cod can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. The slaw is best consumed within 1 2 days.

Reheat the cod in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through, being careful not to overcook it. Freshly assembled wraps are always best, but you can combine the warmed cod and slaw just before serving.

Tips to Make This air fryer cod wraps Recipe

Feel free to swap out the cod for another white fish like haddock or tilapia. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the olive oil mixture or use a spicy sriracha mayo.

To ensure the cod cooks evenly, make sure the fillets are of similar thickness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket by cooking in batches if necessary. This ensures each piece of cod gets crispy and cooks evenly.

To avoid soggy wraps, don’t add the sauce until just before serving. This will keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.

Helpful Notes for This air fryer cod wraps Recipe

Cod is a mild-flavored white fish that is an excellent source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. It’s a versatile ingredient that cooks quickly in the air fryer.

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the cod in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 12 15 minutes, or until cooked through. You can use any type of tortillas for this recipe, such as corn, whole wheat, or gluten free.

Experiment with different sauces and fillings to create your own unique version of the air fryer cod wraps. For instance, you could use a teriyaki glaze, mango salsa, or peanut sauce.

Variation of This air fryer cod wraps Recipe

For a Mexican twist, add black beans, corn, and avocado to the wraps, plus salsa instead of sauce. During the Fall or Winter, add some chili powder to the cod, and include some butternut squash to your slaw.

If you like things spicy, add some jalapeños to the slaw, or chili flakes to the marinade. For a low carb version, consider lettuce wraps. This eliminates the carbohydrates and the gluten typically found in tortillas.

You can make it a deconstructed bowl version if you want to cut on the carbs. Place the slaw on a bed of rice (or cauliflower rice), top with your cod, and sauce.
