Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
Delightful Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas, perfectly seasoned chicken paired with vibrant bell peppers and onions, creating a cozy fall dish that's easy to prepare.
Ingredients
For the fajitas
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
- 1 large bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh lime juice (optional)
For serving
- Warm tortillas (flour or gluten-free)
- Avocado or guacamole
- Salsa
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Prep the Chicken and Vegetables
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, sliced bell pepper, and onion.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Arrange in the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Place the seasoned chicken and vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook
- Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through and slightly browned, with the vegetables tender and charred.
Finish
- Once done, squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajitas for an extra zing.
Serve
- Serve immediately in warm tortillas, topped with avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
Notes
Cut evenly for even cooking. Don't overcrowd the air fryer for perfect char. Allow chicken to rest if you have leftovers. Serve with sides like Air Fryer Cheesy Nachos or a refreshing salad.
