Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chipotle paste, olive oil and the juice of one half of the lime to make a paste.
  2. Toss the gnocchi, peppers, onion and a generous seasoning of salt in the mixture until everything is well coated. Tip into the air fryer.
  3. Air-fry for 15–20 minutes at 200C, stirring every 5 minutes with a spatula to make sure none of the peppers are sticking to the bottom and everything cooks evenly.
  4. Serve topped with the avocado, soured cream and tomato salsa. Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and serve alongside.
