Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
If you skip the tortilla, chicken fajitas are actually really good for you.
Recipe Summary Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
Chicken fajitas in the air fryer doesn't get any easier than this. The chicken stays nice and moist while the vegetables have a nice crisp to them. Add 2 minutes of cook time if you prefer softer veggies. I like to toast my tortillas in the air fryer as well but it is not necessary. Serve with toppings of your choice such as salsa, sliced avocado, and cheese.Ingredients | Chicken Fajitas Recipes Healthy
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

Place chicken strips in a separate bowl and sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and mix until evenly combined with your hands.
