Fajita Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortillas for serving Corn or flour tortillas based on preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Cooking
  1. Place the mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Serving
  1. Serve warm in tortillas with optional toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or shredded cheese.

Notes

Cut the chicken and vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking. For extra heat, experiment with different spices or cayenne pepper. You can also try shrimp or beef instead of chicken. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to achieve the best results.
