Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortillas, for serving
- Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, lime wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onion.
- Season Generously: Add olive oil, fajita seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Mixture: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook to Perfection: Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Warm the Tortillas: While the fajitas are cooking, warm your tortillas according to package instructions. You can warm them in a microwave, oven, or on a dry skillet.
- Assemble and Serve: Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the air fryer. Serve the sizzling fajitas immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
