Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, chicken breast, or tenders
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

- 1/4 cup Mexican cheese
- 1 whole Limes
- 1/4 cup Red onions
- 1/4 cup Salsa
- 1/16 cup Fresh Cilantro

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with taco seasoning, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for about 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (187°C). Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket and air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and shred it using two forks.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (177°C). Place the tortillas in the air fryer and warm them for 1-2 minutes until they are heated through. Add cheese on top of the tortillas during the last 30 seconds to melt.
- Place the shredded chicken on top of the warmed tortillas. Add diced red onions, salsa, and fresh cilantro for extra flavor and texture. Drizzle with sour cream and garnish with additional fresh cilantro for presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious tacos!
