How to Make the Perfect Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
Craving something with a little kick? These air fryer chicken fajitas are quick, easy, and great for lunch or dinner. You can tweak the seasonings or toppings to fit your taste — it’s a simple recipe that always hits the spot. Plus, cleanup is a breeze since everything cooks in one basket.
This fajita recipe is great when you’re short on time. Prep the chicken and veggies ahead and stash them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. Not into bell peppers or onions? Swap them out for what you like. It’s easy to make it your own. You can even double the batch and have leftovers ready for the next day.
Another perk of this recipe is how flexible it is. Use chicken thighs instead of breasts if that’s what you like — just cook them a little longer. And if you’re short on time, skip the marinade. It still turns out flavorful without the extra step. Quick, simple, and still full of flavor.
These easy chicken fajitas use just a few ingredients but bring big flavor. You can double or triple the batch if you’re feeding a crowd. Toss in a liner for faster cleanup, and you’re set. This one’s simple, quick, and worth keeping on repeat. Leftovers heat up great for lunch the next day, too.
