Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into ¼ inch slices
  • ½ yellow onion cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • tortillas
  • sour cream
  • guacamole

Instructions

  1. Combine all spices in a small bowl and stir to create the fajita seasoning.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken strips, onions, and bell peppers with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning over and mix until fully coated.
  3. Place the seasoned mixture into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  4. Cook at 350°F for 16 to 20 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through at about 9 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Serve the cooked fajitas in tortillas with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and guacamole as toppings.

Notes

  • If you lack these spices, feel free to substitute with pre-made fajita seasoning
  • Cut chicken evenly to promote uniform cooking
  • Avoid stacking ingredients too densely in the air fryer to help achieve proper browning
  • You can prep the chicken and veggies up to three days ahead, storing in the fridge
  • For a fresh brightness, add a squeeze of lime after cooking
  • These fajitas also work great served over rice bowls or salads instead of tortillas
