Best Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas For Two Recipes

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.
