Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, halved, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the chicken and vegetables evenly and quickly.
  2. Toss chicken with vegetables and seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, sliced red and green bell peppers, yellow onion slices, fajita seasoning, and vegetable oil. Toss well to evenly coat all ingredients with the seasoning and oil for full flavor absorption.
  3. Cook in the air fryer: Place the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture into the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer’s capacity, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 14-16 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking and browning. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
  4. Serve with tortillas and toppings: Once cooked, serve the fajita mixture warm on tortillas. Enhance your meal by adding pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, or any preferred fajita toppings to complete this delicious dish.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to verify chicken is cooked through at 165°F for safety.
  • Fajita seasoning can be homemade or store-bought, adjust amount for spiciness preference.
  • Serve with flour or corn tortillas based on dietary preferences.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the air fryer or skillet.
