Place all the marinade chicken in a preheated oven or air fryer whatever you are comfortable with. I’ll recommend using an air fryer. Cook the chicken in the air fryer for ten minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius.

When the chicken is completely cooked, take it out from the air fryer and now we’ll assemble tacos layer by layer.
