    Crispy Chicken Chutney Tacos

    Taco Tuesday is here! I am obsessed with my air-fryer as most of you probably already know, so I decided to create yet another crispy creation in it. This recipe basically consists of adult chicken nuggets, green mint & cilantro chutney, and fresh guacamole. It's tangy, spicy, refreshing, and delicious. You can always sub the chicken with mushrooms, cauliflower, fish, or shrimp depending on what you love in your tacos! ⏱️ Total Time: 35 minutes

    Chef's Notes

    • You can replace the chicken with vegetarian options including mushrooms, zucchini, cauliflower, or potatoes.
    • You can replace the chicken with other non-vegetarian options including cod, salmon, tilapia, or shrimp.
    • You can use vegan yogurt instead of greek yogurt for the cilantro-mint chutney.
    • Plant-based milk works well in replacement for regular milk for the crispy chicken.
    • The crispy chicken also makes a great salad if you want to omit the tortillas for a more low-carb option!
