Air fryer chicken fajitas are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic Mexican dish. The air fryer allows you to cook the chicken and vegetables quickly and with minimal oil, resulting in a flavorful and crispy result. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer chicken fajitas:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Tortillas, for serving
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken slices, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat everything.
- Transfer the seasoned chicken and vegetables to the air fryer basket. Make sure they are spread out in a single layer, without overcrowding.
- Cook in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
- While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, warm up the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
- Once the chicken fajita mixture is ready, assemble your fajitas. Fill each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture, and add any desired toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, or chopped cilantro.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, and they are ready to serve.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer chicken fajitas!
