Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ounce fajita seasoning 1 packet
- 8 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, and fajita seasoning. Mix everything together until the chicken and vegetables are fully coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You might need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Warm the tortillas as per package instructions. To assemble the fajitas, spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla, and top with your choice of toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Chicken Choices: Chicken breasts cook quickly and stay lean, but thighs add extra juiciness and richness. Just make sure to slice either into thin, even strips for best results.
- Homemade Seasoning FTW: My homemade fajita seasoning gives you full control over the flavor, spicy, smoky, perfectly balanced. Store-bought works in a pinch, but this blend is a keeper (and you can use it on veggies, steak, or even shrimp!).
- Air Fryer Tips: Don’t skip the preheat, your chicken and veggies need that heat blast to get a bit of char. Cook in batches if things are too crowded, and give it a shake halfway through so everything cooks evenly.
- Veggie Swaps: No bell peppers? Try zucchini, mushrooms, or thinly sliced red cabbage. Just keep the cuts consistent for even cooking.
- Make It a Meal: Serve with warm tortillas, lime wedges, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Or skip the tortillas and build the best fajita rice bowls of your life.
