Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas

Step 1

Slice bell peppers into thin strips, removing and discarding inner seeds and stem. Slice onion half from end to end and cut into similar sized thin strips, separating each of the layers after cutting. If vegetables are overly wet, roughly dry them with a kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 2

Remove any excess fat and bone fragments from the chicken. Cut chicken into thin ½” (1cm) strips and dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Place chicken, bell peppers and onion into into a medium sized bowl. Add oil and toss with hands or a spoon to evenly coat.

Step 4

In another small bowl, combine the fajita seasoning ingredients and stir well.

Step 5

Sprinkle fajita seasoning onto chicken and veggies and work in with your hands (preferably) or a spoon.

Step 6

Preheat air fryer to 400° F (205° C).

Step 7

Once air fryer is preheated, place the chicken and vegetables into the air fryer tray or basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes at 400° F (205° C). Remove air fryer basket and shake half way through cook time. Flip or stir with spatula if using an oven style air fryer. Fajitas are done when peppers and onions are somewhat charred looking and chicken is done but not overcooked.

Step 8

Sprinkle with cilantro and lime juice and use tongs to toss. Serve right away with tortillas, guacamole, salsa, sour cream and/or whatever other fajita fixings you want.
