Tajin Chicken Tacos
If you don’t have it already, you need to get some Tajin in your life. You can add it to the salted rim of your margaritas or sprinkle it on tortilla chips to serve with guac. But we used it (plus olive oil and agave) to coat chicken breasts for a simple air fryer chicken recipe that makes weeknight tacos quick, easy and super-duper tasty to boot!
