Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tbsp olive oil (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (natural)
- 1 tsp chili powder (natural)
- 1 tsp ground cumin (natural)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 1/2 tsp paprika (natural)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients
- Flour or corn tortillas, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken and Veggies: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips to allow for quick, even cooking. Chop the bell peppers (red, yellow, and green) and onion into evenly sized slices. Place everything in a large bowl and toss with olive oil (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), lime juice (natural), chili powder (natural), ground cumin (natural), garlic powder (natural), paprika (natural), salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 190°C (375°F) and allow it to preheat for 3 to 5 minutes. This helps ensure the chicken and vegetables cook quickly and develop a nice crisp texture.
- Air Fry the Chicken and Vegetables: Arrange the coated chicken strips and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and prevent sticking. The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables tender but still crisp.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm flour or corn tortillas briefly in the air fryer or on a skillet until soft and pliable, ready for assembling the fajitas.
- Assemble and Serve: Fill each warmed tortilla with the air-fried chicken and vegetable mixture. Add desired garnishes or toppings and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Slice chicken and vegetables evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave space for hot air circulation to crisp the ingredients.
- Adjust spices to taste, starting mild and adding more as desired.
- Allow cooked fajitas to rest for a minute to redistribute juices for better flavor.
- Use fresh lime juice for an added bright, zesty flavor.
