Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Slice chicken into thin strips. Toss with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
- 2
Add sliced peppers and onions to the seasoned chicken. Toss to combine.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked and veggies are charred.
- 4
Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything.
- 5
Serve in warm tortillas with sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and salsa.
Tip: Slice chicken against the grain for tender strips. Don't overcrowd — cook in batches if needed. The char on the peppers is flavor, not burning. Warm tortillas in the air fryer for 30 seconds.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 15 minutes vs ~27 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
