Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas

by

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes. This ensures even cooking right from the start.

Step 2: Season the Chicken and Vegetables

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the top.
  3. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are well coated in the seasoning and oil.

Step 3: Cook in the Air Fryer

  1. Place the chicken and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket. Spread them out into an even layer; cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  2. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, shaking the basket or stirring halfway through cooking.

Step 4: Warm the Tortillas

  1. Wrap tortillas in foil and place them in the air fryer.
  2. Heat at 380°F (193°C) for 3-4 minutes or until warm. If your air fryer is large enough, you can do this during the last few minutes of cooking the chicken and vegetables.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Serve the chicken fajita mixture with the warm tortillas. Allow everyone to assemble their fajitas to their liking.
  2. Offer lime wedges for squeezing over the fajitas and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
