Cooking our fish finger tacos is a win for the kids dinner, here's why!

• Our fish finger recipe only takes 15 minutes to make, so it's quick enough for even the busiest of school nights.

• You can cook fish fingers in the air fryer, so it's a cost-saving compared to cooking in the regular kitchen oven.

• You can load up the fish finger tacos boats with your kids favourite salads, and just add a couple of side dishes for a healthy, easy weeknight dinner.

Equipment Needed To Make Fish Finger Tacos

• Air fryer – we use a Tefal air fryer - you can cook the fish fingers in the regular oven if you prefer. Little update! - We've swapped to a Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer - the 9.5 litre two drawer cooking space is BRILLIANT when you're cooking for a family. And it makes cooking meat, chicken or fish and potatoes at the same time super easy!

• Serving bowls

• Chopping board

• Knife

• Food thermometer – I totally recommend getting yourself a food thermometer, especially for air frying, it really gives me peace of mind when cooking. I like to know that food is cooked to the right temperature.
