Air Fryer Chicken Taco Bites

Super simple air fryer recipes have been my go-to lately, and these Air Fryer Chicken Taco Bites are not only easy… they are packed full of yumminess and are very versatile.

They can be a dinner on their own, you could use them in a taco salad, chicken wrap, meal prep bowls, or serve as tacos or quesadillas.

I love the boneless skinless chicken thighs because they have more flavor, stay juicier, and not to mention they are waaaayyyy cheaper than chicken breasts.

But chicken breasts can be substituted no problem if you prefer.

How to make Air Fryer Chicken Taco Bites

First, cut a pound to a pound and a half of chicken into bite size pieces.

And put them into a gallon size plastic bag for mess free marinating.

Then add some olive oil, lime juice, and minced garlic.

Also 2 tablespoons of your favorite taco seasoning blend, or a fajita seasoning works too.

A little kosher salt and pepper as well, then massage the bag until combined and marinate in the fridge for a few hours.

Then place the seasoned chicken into your air fryer basket.

And set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 9 to 11 minutes.

We had them as tacos one night and then on salads the next night.

I even used a salad kit from the store so dinner was literally ready in less than 5 minutes since the chicken was already cooked.
