Preparation
Mise en place
Core and thinly slice the cubanelle peppers crosswise. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion into wedges. In a medium bowl, combine the cubanelle peppers, onion, a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. In a second medium bowl, make the guacamole by combining the salsa verde and avocado purée. Pat the salmon dry and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
Start the vegetables
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly oil the basket. Add the cubanelle peppers and onion to the air fryer basket and fry, 2 to 3 min., until partially cooked.
Fry the salmon & finish the vegetables
Add the salmon* to the air fryer basket and fry, 4 to 6 min., until cooked as desired and the vegetables are tender. Transfer to a bowl.
Fry the tortillas & serve
Stack the tortillas. Add to the air fryer basket and fry, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through. Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the guacamole. Top with the vegetables and salmon (flake into large pieces). Bon appétit!
