Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). 2. Season the cubed chicken with taco seasoning, garlic salt, lime juice, and lime zest. Toss well to coat evenly. 3. Air fry the chicken in a single layer for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). 4. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a food processor and pulse until shredded. Step 2: Prepare Rice 1. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil. 2. Stir in 2 cups of Minute Rice, tomato paste, cumin, onion powder, and minced garlic. 3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the broth is absorbed. Step 3: Make the Queso Sauce 1. In a pan over medium heat, combine 10 tbsp of nacho cheese, chicken broth, evaporated milk, reduced-fat cheddar, jalapeño, and salt. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. 2. Add the 40g reduced-fat cream cheese and stir until completely incorporated, creating a creamy queso sauce. Step 4: Combine Everything 1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked rice mixture, and queso sauce. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and well-coated with the creamy queso sauce. 422 cals, 43g protein 24 carbs 14 fat Add 15g reduced fat cheddar to each burrito before air frying or baking or grilling. - @tastyshreds
