1

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
2

In a large bowl, combine cabbage slaw, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until evenly combined and set aside.
3

In a medium bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, and taco seasoning until well combined. Add cod and toss to coat evenly; discard any excess seasoning mixture. Place the coated cod in the prepared air fryer basket and mist lightly with cooking spray.
4

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Shake the basket and continue cooking until the fish is crispy and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
5

Place the cabbage slaw mixture into the air fryer basket.
6

Cook in the air fryer until the cabbage is caramelized, about 8 minutes, stirring halfway through.
7

Spoon the cabbage slaw evenly onto tortillas and top with the fish.
