Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all great options for fajitas. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, so they're perfect for air frying.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
  • Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking the steak. This will help to ensure that the steak cooks evenly.
  • Cook the steak in batches: If you're cooking a lot of steak, cook it in batches so that you don't overcrowd the air fryer. This will help to ensure that the steak cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Steak cooks quickly in the air fryer, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Fajitas are traditionally served with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. You can also add other toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, or tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Air fryer steak fajitas are a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. They're also a great option for parties and potlucks. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
