Add the chicken thighs to a bowl with the Greek yoghurt, lime zest and juice, garlic, fajita spice blend, honey, salt & pepper. Mix well leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer if you have time.
1
Preheat your air fryer to its highest setting, ideally 210°C. Add the chicken in a single layer, cook for 8 minutes. Flip the chicken, pour over any extra marinade from the bowl, cook for another 7–9 minutes until golden, gnarly at the edges and cooked all the way through.
2
Alternatively, heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until deeply charred on the outside and cooked through. Remove from the pan and leave to rest.
3
Meanwhile, make the salsa. Add the avocado, spring onions, coriander, jalapeños, Greek yoghurt, lime juice, honey, salt and pepper to a small blender and blitz until smooth and creamy. Add a few tbsp of water to loosen if needed. Taste and adjust to suit your preferences.
4
Toast the tacos, add sliced charred chicken, avocado and herb salsa, a crumble of feta and some extra jalapeños. Finish with an extra squeeze of lime.
