Description

Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas have quickly become one of our favorite go-to meals! The first time I made them, I was amazed at how quickly everything came together and how tender the chicken turned out. The vibrant colors of the peppers and onions make the dish look so inviting, and the aroma that fills the kitchen while they cook is simply irresistible. My family devours these fajitas every time, and they love to customize them with their favorite toppings. Whether it’s taco night or just a fun family dinner, these fajitas are always a hit!

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is well coated with the spices. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
Prepare the Veggies: Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the marinated chicken, mixing everything together until the veggies are evenly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cook the Fajitas: Place the chicken and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches if your air fryer is small). Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Serve: Remove the chicken fajitas from the air fryer and serve immediately in warm tortillas. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
