Key Ingredients You Need<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n
\n
Chicken \u2014<\/strong> I use boneless skinless breasts, but you are welcome to make this with a different cut of chicken.<\/li>\n
Bell peppers \u2014 <\/strong>Fajitas aren\u2019t complete without bell peppers. I use a mix of red, yellow, and green bell peppers, but you can stick with just one color if you prefer. Red bell peppers are sweeter compared to green bell peppers.<\/li>\n
Seasoning \u2014 I<\/strong> use a combination of chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> In a small bowl, add the spices together and mix with a small fork to make the fajita seasoning.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Slice the bell peppers into even pieces.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Add the chicken, onions, and bell pepper to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and then toss until coated. Add the seasoning and then toss again until everything is evenly coated.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Add the seasoned chicken, onion, and bell pepper to the air fryer basket.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Cook at 350F for 16 to 20 minutes, or until all the chicken pieces have cooked through. Remove the basket and toss halfway through the cooking time, at about 9 minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/strong> Serve the fajitas in tortillas and garnish with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and guacamole.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Tips For This Recipe<\/h2>\n
\n
If you don\u2019t have the mix of spices but have fajita seasoning, you can swap that in instead.<\/li>\n
Make sure to cut the chicken as evenly as possible, so they cook evenly in the air fryer.<\/li>\n
It\u2019s alright for some overlap in the air fryer basket, however, try to avoid excessive overlap (such as double layering) so the chicken fajitas can brown evenly.<\/li>\n
You can slice the onions, bell peppers, and chicken ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days for busy weeknights.<\/li>\n
If you want to add some lime to brighten the flavor, add it after the chicken fajitas come out of the air fryer and not before.<\/li>\n
Don\u2019t feel limited to tortillas! These chicken fajitas make a great rice bowl or a salad as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/figure>\n
Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\n
What other cuts of chicken could I use?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Chicken thighs and chicken tenderloins are great options if you don\u2019t have chicken breasts. The cook time will increase by a few minutes if you use chicken thighs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Are fajitas served with flour or corn tortillas?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Fajitas are traditionally served with flour tortillas but feel free to use whichever you prefer or have on hand!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
How do I store and reheat leftovers?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Transfer the chicken fajitas out of the air fryer and allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the fajitas back in the air fryer and heat for 5 minutes at 350F or until warmed through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
How do I tell if my chicken is cooked?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Use a cooking thermometer and check the chicken pieces to ensure they have reached 165F. You could also just tear open a piece of chicken to check the meat is white throughout and no longer pink.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
