Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
With tender chicken, bell peppers, onions, and a flavorful fajita mix, these air fryer chicken fajitas are a quick and easy dinner for the family.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- ½ red bell pepper
- ½ green bell pepper
- ½ yellow bell pepper
- ½ red onion
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
- Slice the chicken breasts, peppers, and onion into thin strips.
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, fajita seasoning, chicken. and vegetables. Toss with a fork or tongs until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken and vegetables in the air fryer basket. Try to keep it in a single layer so that the veggies and chicken cook evenly.
- Cook for 11 minutes. Remove the basket and shake or use tongs to mix them around.
- Cook for an additional 11 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Notes
- Salt free fajita seasoning is what we prefer, but you can use your homemade or favorite store bought seasoning.
- Swap out the peppers and onions with your favorite fajita veggies or add them into the meat mixture.
- Avocado oil is great for fajitas because it has such a mild flavor and does well with heat. If you don’t have avocado oil, olive oil will work too but you may get some smoke while cooking.
- You can either enjoy them as a traditional fajita or make fajita bowls without the tortillas. Either way works and it’s delicious.
