Taco Tuesdays forever, amiright? Especially crispy air fryer tacos! Stuffed corn tortillas with juicy chicken and cheese, crisped up in the air fryer for the ultimate in crunch.
Last summer, Mike and I were lucky enough to go on a road trip through New Mexico. We went camping at White Sands National Park, we spent a thankfully air conditioned afternoon inside Meow Wolf (highly recommend!), and we ate ALL the green chile cheeseburgers and tacos. It was truly the land of enchantment. I never knew that New Mexico would touch me so deeply, but it did. I’m forever changed by its stark beauty, its quiet sunsets, and its food, of course. I have a vast appreciation for New Mexican and Southwestern food.
While the green chile cheeseburgers were the highlight of our trip we also had a lot of tacos, specifically crispy chicken tacos. If you guys are ever in New Mexico, get the crispy chicken tacos at El Parasol. They are legit the best crispy chicken tacos I’ve ever had. The chicken is juicy, the tortillas are crisp, and the guacamole is the perfect creamy counterpoint to all of it. These crispy air fryer tacos are inspired by those very tacos!
