20 Minute Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
Using an air fryer to make chicken fajitas is a quick, easy method that produces a tasty, nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
- One pound of skinless, boneless, thinly sliced chicken breasts
- One entire medium onion, sliced;
- one whole red bell pepper, sliced;
- one whole green bell pepper, sliced
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- two tablespoons of lime juice
- One spoonful of spice for fajitas
- Half a teaspoon Add salt to taste.
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Corn tortillas or flour, for serving
- Extra toppings at your discretion: salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, and sour cream
Guidelines
- Cut one or two chicken breasts into thin strips to start.
- For consistent cooking, cut one onion and a variety of red, green, and yellow bell peppers into strips of comparable size.
- Combine the chicken and veggie strips in a large bowl.
- Pour over some olive lime juice with oil. This helps the seasoning adhere to the foods while also adding taste.
- Add the fajita spice, which usually consists of paprika, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Until everything is coated evenly, toss everything.
- Set your air fryer’s temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
- This step helps generate a nice char on the chicken and veggies and guarantees that the cooking process begins right away.
- Fill the air fryer basket with the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture. Try not to pack the basket too full; if needed, cook in batches.
- To ensure consistent cooking, air fried for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring occasionally.
- Warm your flour or corn tortillas in the oven, on the stove, or even in the microwave while the chicken and veggies are cooking.
- When rolling, warm tortillas are more flexible and won’t shatter.
- It’s time to construct the fajitas once the chicken and veggies are cooked through and nicely charred.
- Remove the chicken with a spoon and southwestern mixture over the heated tortillas.
- Top with your preferred fajita fixings, including salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
- While everything is still warm, serve your chicken fajitas right away and enjoy!
- With less oil and the same delicious flavor, this recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas is a quick, simple, and healthier way to enjoy this traditional dish.
