Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine sliced chicken breasts with olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
3. In a separate bowl, combine sliced red and green bell peppers, and sliced yellow onion. Toss with olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
5. Remove the vegetables from the air fryer basket and add the marinated chicken. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
6. Combine the air-fried chicken with the air-fried vegetables in the air fryer basket for the last 2 minutes of cooking to warm them together.
7. Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas in tortillas with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.
