Air fryer chicken fajitas

Chicken fajitas

Charred peppers and smoky chicken in one basket, ready before the tortillas are warm.

Fajitas want fierce, dry heat so the veg chars rather than sweats. Cut everything to the same size and give the basket a shake and it all finishes together.

Ingredients

Serves 4 · tap to check off

  • 3 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 peppers, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp oil and 2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • Tortillas, lime and soured cream to serve

Method

  1. Slice. Cut the chicken and veg to a similar size so nothing overcooks.
  2. Season. Toss everything with the oil and seasoning.
  3. Air fry. Cook at 390°F for 14 minutes, shaking twice.
  4. Serve. Pile into warm tortillas with lime and soured cream.
Test-kitchen tip

Do not crowd the basket. Two smaller batches char properly where one big batch just steams.
