Description

A cozy and delightful meal featuring juicy chicken strips and colorful bell peppers, seasoned to perfection and air-fried for a crisp finish.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • Tortillas for serving
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the spices. Toss until well coated.
  3. Cooking in the Air Fryer: Place the chicken and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  4. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Serve: Warm the tortillas and fill them with the chicken and fajitas mix, adding your desired toppings.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer for best results.
