Air fryer tacos are a family favourite, they are easy to prepare and a healthy midweek meal that will come very handy during busy days.

To make these air fryer tacos you will need:

Chicken. Our favourite protein could be swapped for steak strips or ground turkey for a leaner choice.
Gran Luchito Chipotle Fajita & Taco mix. The perfect all round seasoning when you want to add smoky chipotle to your meals. For a different variation of this recipe you can also try our Ancho BBQ or Guajillo Fajita & Taco Mix.
Homemade Macha Mayo. A delicious creamy and spicy dressing to drizzle over your tacos, using Gran Luchito Crunchy Salsa Macha.
A Fresh Garnish. Salad leaves, shredded cabbage or a bit of coriander, bring a nice texture as well as a fresh touch.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

For the Tacos:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
500 grams chicken breast, cut into strips
2 tbsp Gran Luchito Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix
2 tbsp Chipotle Paste
Salt & Pepper
1 lime, juice
1 pack Gran Luchito Soft Tacos

To Serve:

1 recipe Macha Mayo

How to make it

In a frying pan, heat the olive oil, when it is hot enough add the onions, the chicken strips with the Chipotle Fajita & Taco Mix, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and let the chicken cook through for 6 to 7 minutes. When ready, remove from the heat and add the lime juice on top, then set aside. For a different variation of this recipe, you can also try our Chipotle Paste.
Preheat the air fryer. Get the Soft Tacos, and place them over a clean kitchen surface. Add a spoonful or two of the chipotle chicken strips onto each tortilla, fold in half and repeat the same process until you use all of the fillings.
Spray the tacos on both sides with cooking spray oil or brush with a bit of olive oil. Place 3 tacos at a time and cook in the air fryer for 9 to 10 minutes at 180 ˚C, until lovely and crispy. Cook the remaining tacos in the same way.
Serve the air fryer tacos with a handful of salad leaves, coriander and a spoonful of Macha Mayo. Once you have added the garnish to all your air fryer tacos, arrange them over a nice platter and serve.
