Instructions

Prepare the ingredients: Slice the chicken, bell peppers, and onion into thin strips.
Mix the seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Season the chicken and veggies: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the top and toss again to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Cook the chicken fajitas: Place the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness: Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
Warm the tortillas: While the chicken fajitas cook, warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or heat them in a dry skillet over low heat for a few seconds.
Assemble the fajitas: Serve the chicken and veggie mixture in the warm tortillas, and top with your favorite optional toppings.
Serve and enjoy: Gather your family around the table and enjoy these tasty, flavorful Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas!

Notes

Add some heat: For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili flakes to the chicken and veggie mix.

Make it vegetarian: Swap the chicken for black beans or tofu for a delicious vegetarian option.

Change up the veggies: Feel free to add or swap other veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or corn.

Cheese lovers: Add some shredded cheese to the fajitas before serving or melt it on top during the last minute of cooking.
