Equipment

1 Air fryer

Ingredients

1 brown onion sliced
1 red onion sliced
1 red pepper sliced
350 g chicken breast sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 dash soy sauce

To serve

Tortilla wraps
Fresh coriander
Soured cream
Guacamole
Salsa
Grated cheese I used mature cheddar, use your favourite

Instructions

Add the ingredients to the air fryer’s basket and mix well together.
In air fryers that count down immediately (ie without a preheating phase), like the Ninja brand: 14 minutes at 180℃ (355 degrees Fahrenheit if you’re in the United States).
In air fryers that count down after a preheating phase, like the Instant Brands air fryers: 12 minutes at 180℃ (355 degrees Fahrenheit if you’re in the United States)
Mixing it or shaking it a couple of times during that time.
Then Air Fry 2 minutes at 205ºC (400 degrees Fahrenheit if you're the United States). Check that the chicken is cooked through.
Serve in the wraps with the coriander, soured cream, guacamole, salsa and grated cheese (or your choice of these). Or it would be great tossed with salad or pasta or even rice!

Notes

Trying to keep the cost down? It’s lovely just with the soured cream, cheese and coriander (if you like coriander).

Note: Airfryers are like ovens, they're all different, so always check that your chicken is cooked through. I used the Instant Vortex for this recipe
