AIR FRYER CHICKEN FAJITAS



Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas image

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use large shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • To make your fajitas more flavorful, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and paprika for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Be sure to preheat your air fryer before cooking the shrimp. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This will help to prevent them from steaming.
  • Flip the shrimp halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the shrimp fajitas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Air-fried shrimp fajitas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a healthier alternative to traditional fried fajitas. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy this tasty dish in no time.
