Air Fryer Chicken Street Tacos Adobo

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut lengthwise in half)
• 3 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1.5 chipotles in adobo sauce (1-2 peppers depending on heat preference)
• 0.5 tbsp adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 12 tortillas (small flour or corn tortillas)
• 4 cup cilantro lime rice (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breasts lengthwise in half and coat them evenly with the taco seasoning.

2. 2

   Arrange the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   While the chicken cooks, prepare the chipotle honey sauce by mixing the chipotles, adobo sauce, honey, and lime juice in a blender until smooth.

4. 4

   After the initial 10 minutes of cooking, flip the chicken pieces and apply the chipotle honey sauce generously to the surface.

5. 5

   Air fry again at 400°F (200°C) for 2 more minutes to caramelize the glaze.

6. 6

   Take the chicken out, brush with any leftover sauce, and chop or slice the meat.

7. 7

   Serve immediately in tortillas with cilantro lime rice and your choice of toppings like salsa, avocado, or sour cream.

Notes

For a family-friendly version, use one chipotle; use two for more spice. To keep the meal gluten-free, ensure you use corn tortillas. Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 days and reheats well in the air fryer at 400°F for 3-4 minutes.
