WHAT’S IN AIR FRYER CHICKEN FAJITAS:

cooking spray
boneless skinless chicken breasts (may use thighs)
chili powder
salt and pepper
cumin
garlic powder
cayenne pepper (optional)
oil
small red onion
bell peppers
green pepper
lime juice
flour or corn tortillas

HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER FAJITAS:

NOTE: if you have your own fajita seasoning you enjoy, feel free to use it. You can even use packaged fajita or taco seasoning.

Thinly slice the chicken into strips then slice the peppers and onions. I like the vegetables cut about 1/2″ thick so they don’t disappear in the cooking process.

Combine the chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, (optional) cayenne pepper and oil in a medium to large bowl then add the sliced chicken strips and vegetables.

Stir everything together to completely coat well.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 3 minutes then spray the inside of the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Add the chicken mixture to the air fryer basket then cook for 10-12 minutes pausing to shake the basket halfway through the cook time so everything cooks evenly.

Cooking time will vary with air fryers. When the chicken is cooked through to 160-165 degrees (I use a meat thermometer to take the guesswork out) and the vegetables are tender, remove from the air fryer.

Squeeze lime juice over the top then serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings and sides.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN FAJITAS:

Below are a few of my favorites – top the fajitas with your favorite fajitas toppings:

fresh cilantro garnish
Avocado or guacamole
Sour cream
Salsa or Pico de gallo
Extra lime wedges
Refried beans
Shredded cheddar cheese
