Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic Tex-Mex dish. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Tortillas, for serving
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken strips, sliced bell peppers, and onion.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Place the chicken and vegetable mixture into the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook in the air fryer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Remember to shake the basket or flip the ingredients halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, warm up your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave according to package instructions.
- Once the chicken and vegetables are done, assemble your fajitas by placing a scoop of the mixture onto a tortilla. Add any desired toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling, and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve the air fryer chicken fajitas immediately while they are still warm and enjoy!
Note: Feel free to customize your fajitas by adding other toppings such as chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or hot sauce. You can also serve them with a side of rice and beans for a complete meal.
Notes:
- These Air Fryer fajitas are low carb, keto, paleo, low fat, and whole30 compliant.
- The fajitas are 100% gluten-free if you’re using a GT tortilla bread.
- Make sure not to overcrowd your Air Fryer basket. If you put layers and layers of chicken and veg, and the basket is overly filled then the food will “steam” rather than “roast” and char.
