Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- Tortillas, for serving
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, shredded cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Marinate the Chicken and Vegetables:
- Add the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion to the bowl with the marinade. Toss until everything is well coated.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Place the marinated chicken and vegetables in the air fryer basket. Spread them out in an even layer for best results.
- Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
- Finish with Lime Juice:
- Once the chicken and vegetables are done, remove them from the air fryer and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Toss to coat evenly.
- Serve:
- Serve the chicken and vegetables in warm tortillas. Add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, or shredded cheese.
Tips:
- Cutting the Chicken and Vegetables: For even cooking, make sure to slice the chicken and vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
- Cooking in Batches: If your air fryer basket is small, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding.
