Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas

  5.0 – 4 reviews  • Chicken

Jalapenos, red pepper flakes, and horseradish all have a kick to them, but don’t worry—your mouth won’t get burned! These are the ideal savory-sweet snack because of the cream cheese and sweet apricot that calm them down. They also don’t contain gluten!

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 8
Yield: 8 fajitas

Ingredients

  1. 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  2. 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  3. 1 large onion, sliced into petals
  4. 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  5. salt and pepper to taste
  6. 1 pound chicken tenders, cut into strips
  7. 2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
  8. 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Instructions

  1. Place bell pepper strips and onion petals in a large bowl. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over top and season with salt and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
  2. Place chicken strips in a separate bowl and sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and mix until evenly combined with your hands.
  3. Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add chicken to the basket and cook for 12 minutes, shaking halfway through cook time. Transfer to a plate to let rest while you cook the vegetables.
  4. Add vegetable mixture to the basket of the air fryer and cook for 14 minutes, shaking halfway through cook time.
  5. Divide chicken and vegetable mixture among tortillas.
  6. I like to toast my tortillas in the air fryer as well, but it is not necessary.

Made it in one pan, veggies on the bottom & layered thin strips of chicken on top, took approximately 25 mins for all the chicken to cook. It was darn good. Forgot to take a picture.
Rodney Jones
Cooked both together with veggies on bottom and chicken on top. Came out perfect.
Gregory Powers
I added all the ingredients in a bowl, stirred and then cooked in the air fryer. It was great. Better than taking time to cook two batches.

Perfect fajitas, no mess. The chicken was at 165°F exactly at 12 minutes, tender and juicy. Instead of cooking in two batches, I put the veggies on bottom, layered the chicken on top and cooked for 12 minutes. Everything was cooked to perfection.
