This recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Fajita Tortillas is a quick and delicious way to enjoy flavorful fajitas without the need for a traditional stovetop or grill. Tender chicken strips are seasoned with a blend of spices, cooked to perfection in an air fryer, and then served with warm tortillas and a medley of colorful sautéed bell peppers and onions. It's a healthier alternative to the classic fajitas, as the air fryer eliminates the need for excessive oil while still providing a crispy texture. The result is a mouthwatering dish that combines juicy chicken, vibrant vegetables, and warm tortillas for a satisfying meal that can be enjoyed any time of the year.
1. Preheat your air fryer to 200°c for about 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken strips, bell peppers, onion, Fajita Seasoning packet, 3 teaspoons Chipotle paste and 6 teaspoons oil. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are well coated.
3. Place the chicken and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket.
4. Cook in the air fryer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Give it a stir after 12 minutes for even browning.
5. While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, place the tortilla chips in the other basket of the air fryer on top of greaseproof paper.
6. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the tortilla chips.
7. Set the air fryer to the 175°c and cook the tortilla chips for about 5-8 minutes until they are crispy and heated through and the cheese is melted.
8. Once the chicken, vegetables, and tortilla chips are done, remove them from the air fryer.
9. Serve the fajita mixture on top of the warm tortilla chips, and add your desired toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, jalapeños and fresh coriander.
