Equipment
- Air Fryer (Here's the air fryer I like best on Amazon) At least 6 quart
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into half inch thin strips against the grain
- 2 Orange, yellow, or red bell pepper Sliced into strips
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Fajita topping of choice (see step 4)
Instructions
- Use the preheat button on your air fryer to get it going while you prep your chicken and fresh vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, peppers, onion, and the spices. Toss with tongs to coat.
- Pour the mixture into the air fryer basket and spread into a single layer. Air fry at 400F (200C) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through. As the chicken cooks you can get your toppings and warm tortillas ready.
- After 10 minutes, your thin chicken strips should be cooked through. You can add extra minutes if you want more browning on your chicken and vegetables. The cook time will also vary depending on the size of your air fryer. A smaller air fryer may also take more time since the food will be more crowded.
- Serve with corn tortillas or flour tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings such as sour cream, pico de Gallo, fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese or queso fresco and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
- Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken thighs can also be used.
- Bell Peppers: Any colorful bell peppers will work including green bell peppers.
- Onion: feel free to use a red onion, white onions, or sweet yellow onions.
- Leftover chicken fajitas: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
