Steps:
- Put a griddle pan on a high heat.
- Halve, deseed and slice the pepper into thin strips, then peel, halve, and finely slice the onion. Slice the chicken lengthways into long strips, roughly the same size as the pepper strips.
- Put the peppers, onion, and chicken into a bowl with the paprika and cumin. Squeeze over the juice of half a lime, drizzle over 1 tablespoon of oil, season with a good pinch of black pepper and mix well. Put aside to marinate for 5 minutes or so while you make your salsa.
- For the salsa, finely chop the chilli, roughly chop the tomatoes and the coriander (stalks and all), then place in a clean bowl with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Squeeze over the juice of 1 lime, and stir in the coriander.
- Using tongs, place the pepper, onion, and chicken onto the griddle and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. As the pan will be really hot, keep turning the pieces of chicken and vegetables over so they don’t burn – you just want them to lightly chargrill to give you a lovely flavour.
- To make the guacamole, squeeze the cherry tomatoes onto a board, then finely chop with ½ -1 red chilli and a handful of coriander leaves, including the top part of the stalks.
- Halve and destone the avocado, then squeeze it over a board so the flesh comes out of the skin. Discard the skin. Squeeze over the lime juice and chop everything together until fine. Taste and adjust the flavours, if needed.
- Warm the tortillas in a microwave or warm, dry frying pan, then divide between serving plates. Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the sizzling pan.
- At the table, carefully help yourselves to the chicken and vegetables straight from the hot grill pan. Just be sure to put it down on top of something that won’t burn, like a chopping board.
- Serve with bowls of natural yoghurt and guacamole, alongside the Cheddar, a grater, and the lovely fresh salsa.

Steps:
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, then cut them into thin strips. Put them in a bowl, add the remaining ingredients and rub into the chicken with your hands.
- Heat the oil for the pepper mix in a large frying pan and fry the onion wedges for 6 mins or until softened. Turn the heat up high so the wedges char slightly at the edges, season well and, using a slotted spoon, lift them onto a baking tray and keep warm.
- Add the peppers in batches, cook them the same way, then transfer to the baking tray with the onions. Cook the tomatoes in the same way and add them to the peppers.
- Heat a griddle pan or use the same frying pan and cook the chicken in batches over a high heat – allow them to catch a little on the edges but don’t overcook them. Add them to the baking tray to keep warm.
- Heat the tortillas on the griddle, then wrap in foil and keep warm in the oven, or heat in the microwave following pack instructions.

Air Fryer Fajitas is a complete one pot Chicken Dinner. In Air Fryer, Chicken roast crispy, yet tender and juicy. The side of seasoned onions and peppers are my special favorite. You can't miss the aroma of Fajitas Seasoned Chicken and Pepper roasting in fryer. So addictive as if server bringing Fajitas in a Mexican Restaurant. Yumm!
Let's make some Air Fryer Fajitas today!
What Do You Need to Make Chicken Fajitas in Air Fryer?
Ingredients for this recipe are easy to find and pantry staples. You don't need grocery trip to make Chicken Fajitas. I have also included homemade Fajita Seasoning recipe link below.
Here is the list of ingredients you need:
- Chicken Tenders (or breast cut into small strips.)
- Fajita Seasoning (try homemade seasoning)
- Lemon Or Lime Juice
- Garlic
- Onion
- Bell Peppers
- Olive Oil
- Bouillon
To Cook Fajitas in Air Fryer:
Follow these notes when cooking chicken fajitas in the air fryer. These will help make juicy chicken fajitas every time.
- Preheat Air Fryer to ensures even cooking from the start. For Ninja foodi fryer, I preheat for 3 minutes.
- Add peppers in at the half time so that peepers and onions are perfectly cooked and crunchy (not at all mushy).
- Marinate Chicken for best results. Delicious marinade recipe included in the recipe card.
- Use Air Fryer Rack when cooking chicken fajitas in the air fryer. This way fajitas cook nice and crispy with seasonings and juices from the chicken collect at the bottom (below rack). Pour juices over fajitas before serving. (yum!)
I first cook marinated chicken in preheat fryer until it is no longer pink. Next add sliced veggies on the side, add seasoning and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through. Don't forget to use the juices of chicken collected at the bottom of fryer. These make fajitas moist and delicious.
Sizzling Chicken Fajitas
You can also make drunken sizzling chicken fajita in two simple steps:
1) Cook chicken fajita as recipe suggests and switch off air fryer.
2) Remove fryer and immediately de glaze with 2 tbsp of vodka or white wine. Serve immediately.
Time for Cooking Fajitas
Since chicken is cut into small strips, Chicken Fajitas cook very quickly in the air fryer. I recommend to keep an eye as time can vary based on make and model of air fryer, and quantity of fajitas. I made 1.5 pound chicken fajitas in Ninja foodi XL fryer (5.5 quart). This took about 12 minutes of cooking and 3 minutes of pre heating.
Always keep an eye in last couple of minutes. Don't let chicken dry out. You can always pause the fryer and check the doneness of a chicken strip before continuing.
TIP: Replace chicken with firm tofu strips to make vegetarian Chicken Fajitas!
Friends, this easy chicken fajita recipe is our favorite weeknight dinner. I also warm tortillas for serving with Fajitas in the air fryer. Just before serving, on Air Fry setting for 1 minute.
This week was all about spices. Malay Chicken Curry and Chicken Fajitas. Check back again for next week's recipes.
