I am going to give you the recipes for three different things here. The other night I made what I am calling “Air Fryer – kinda sorta – Fajitas.” 

This was super easy, I think somewhat healthy, and it was I guess a form of a fajita.

For quite a while now, I have been making my own variations of spice blends. This way I am not buying packets with ingredients that I cannot pronounce.

Here is my Taco Seasoning recipe:

2 tbsp Chili powder

1 tbsp Cumin

1 tbsp Kocher salt

1/2 tbsp Black pepper

1/2 tbsp Smoked paprika (or regular paprika if you don’t have smoked)

1 tsp Dried oregano (or dried cilantro)

1 tsp Garlic powder

1/2 tsp Onion powder

1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper (or 1/4 tsp if you like spicy)

Mix all together until incorporated, add to a glass jar (mason) drop in a bay leaf, lid that jar, and this will last on the shelf a year.  Feel free to double this or triple.  This seasoning can be used in various recipes.  It is great to season a ground turkey burger with as an example.

Creamy Taco, Fajita, Sandwich Spread or Dipping Sauce: 

½ cup sour cream

½ cup mayo

2 Tbl the above Taco Seasoning

Kocsher Salt to Taste

Pepper to Taste

1 tbl cilantro.

Mix ingredients all together, and boom – you have a great sauce.  It is fantastic as a sandwich spread, chip dip, and it was fantastic on these kinda sorta fajitas below.

“Air Fryer – kinda sorta – Fajitas.” 

1 pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs, or the cut of chicken you choose

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

Half sweet onion, cut into strips

4 cloves garlic, minced

Olive oil

The above Taco Seasoning

Pinch Kosher Salt

Pinch Pepper

What to do:

Add chicken and veggies to bowl and combine.

Add olive oil to coat, mix to combine and coat.

Add the above Taco Seasoning, approximately 2 tbl, and combine to coat, add more if desired.

Preheat your air fryer to 400. 

Add all ingredients to the basket and fry air at 400 for 20 minutes, stirring halfway. 

(or until chicken is cooked through.  This will depend on what cut you choose as well)

You can serve this over rice, serve in taco shells, wraps, even over greens for a salad.

Top all with the sauce! 

I think we have to actively press forward to find our peace and our joy in moments like we are collectively experiencing.  I wish for you today that peace finds you and joy invades your spaces.

Peace to you !!
