Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound raw chicken strips
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) so the cooking begins evenly.
- In a large bowl combine the chicken strips, sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion.
- Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned mixture into the air fryer basket and spread it in an even layer.
- Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking so the ingredients roast evenly.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred, remove from the air fryer.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the hot mixture and gently toss.
- Serve the chicken and vegetables inside warm flour tortillas and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket because good air circulation helps the ingredients caramelize.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before serving for the best texture.
- A squeeze of fresh lime at the end brightens the entire dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
