Tips from Atelier Airfryer
Tips for success
Don't overfill the tortillas so they close properly.
Secure with a toothpick to prevent them from opening during cooking.
If you like very crispy tacos, add 1-2 extra minutes of cooking.
Gourmet variations
Replace the chicken with already-cooked ground beef, sautéed shrimp or even a vegetarian filling with red beans and corn.
Add a hint of chili to spice things up.
