Spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, cumin, sea salt, and cracked pepper to create the spice rub. Pat the fish dry with paper towels.
Lay the fish flat in the air fryer basket and brush generously with olive oil. Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the fish and press gently. Spritz the fish lightly with olive oil.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Cook the fish for 8-10 minutes, until opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the fish cooks, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, sugar (if using), sea salt, and cracked pepper in a medium bowl. Toss well and adjust seasoning as needed.
Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the air fryer and cut into bite-sized pieces. Place the fish onto warmed tortillas, then top with cilantro lime slaw. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top.
Store any leftover fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, place the fish back in the air fryer at 400°F for 2-4 minutes.
