Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas

Here is a recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:

  1.  1 lb chicken breasts, sliced into ¼ inch thick strips
  2. – 2 bell peppers, sliced into strips
  3. – 1 red onion, sliced into strips
  4. – 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. – 2 tablespoons olive oil
  6. – 1 tablespoon chili powder
  7. – ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  8. – ½ teaspoon cumin
  9. – ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  10. – ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  11. – ½ teaspoon onion powder
  12. – ½ teaspoon salt
  13. – ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  14. – Tortillas, sour cream, avocado, lime slices, fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  • Preheat the air fryer*:Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

– *Prepare the chicken and vegetables*:

  • In a large bowl, add the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and spices and gently mix together until the chicken is fully coated in the spice mixture.
  • – *Cook*: Transfer to the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes, shaking halfway, or until fully cooked, or until the edges of the vegetables become lightly charred. If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook in 2-3 batches.
  • – *Serve*: Remove from the air fryer and garnish with cilantro. Serve on tortillas or rice along with avocado, sour cream or guacamole.

Tips:*

  • – *Preheat the air fryer*: This will heat up your air fryer and get it ready to go for perfectly charred fajitas! If your air fryer has a preheat button, use that, if not set it at 400 degrees about 3-4 minutes before cooking.
  • – *Work in batches*: If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook in 2-3 batches. There should only be one layer of food on the bottom. You don’t want to overcrowd the veggies and chicken because they will steam rather than bake, and won’t be quite as delicious.
