Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the sliced chicken breasts to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Next, add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the bowl with the chicken and marinade. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to the air fryer basket, spreading it out in a single layer for even cooking.
- Cook in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure everything cooks evenly. The chicken should be cooked through, and the vegetables should be tender.
- While the chicken and veggies are cooking, warm the tortillas in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Once cooked, serve the air fryer chicken fajitas in the warm tortillas and top with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, or fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy air fryer chicken fajitas!
