Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

300g/10½oz lean beef steak, such as sirloin or rump, visible fat trimmed and cut into thin strips
1½ tbsp extra virgin or sunflower oil
2 yellow peppers, deseeded and thinly sliced
2 red peppers, deseeded and thinly sliced
2 red onions, cut into thin wedges
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
400g tin red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
200g/7oz cherry tomatoes, halved
1 long red chilli, finely chopped, or ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
25g/1oz fresh coriander, chopped, plus extra to garnish
lime wedges, for squeezing
4 x 40g/1½oz white or wholemeal flour tortillas, warmed, to serve
2 Little Gem lettuces, trimmed and shredded, to serve
6 tbsp natural yoghurt, to serve
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Season the beef with pepper. Heat half a tablespoon of the oil in large, non-stick frying pan and stir-fry the beef for 1½ minutes, or until lightly browned but not quite cooked through. Tip onto a plate, set aside and return the pan to the heat.
  • Add the remaining oil, peppers and red onions to the pan and stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, or until only just softened. Add the cumin, coriander and paprika. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the beans, cherry tomatoes and cooked beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the beans and beef are hot.
  • Stir in the chilli and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few seconds more. Remove from the heat, scatter over the coriander and add a squeeze of lime. Toss lightly.
  • Divide the tortillas between four warmed plates. Top with shredded lettuce then pile the beef mixture on top. Spoon the yoghurt over each tortilla and garnish with the coriander. Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges for squeezing.

Let's make some Air Fryer Fajitas today!

Chicken Fajitas

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:

  1. Chicken Tenders (or breast cut into small strips.)
  2. Fajita Seasoning (try homemade seasoning)
  3. Lemon Or Lime Juice
  4. Garlic
  5. Onion
  6. Bell Peppers
  7. Olive Oil
  8. 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.

  1. Preheat Air Fryer to ensures even cooking from the start. For Ninja foodi fryer, I preheat for 3 minutes.
  2. Add peppers in at the half time so that peepers and onions are perfectly cooked and crunchy (not at all mushy).
  3. Marinate Chicken for best results. Delicious marinade recipe included in the recipe card.
  4. 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!)

Hot To Cook Fajitas in Air Fryer

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. 

Air Fryer Fajitas

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!
