ingredients you will need
- Chicken breast, cut to thin strips - you can also use chicken tenders.
- Bell peppers - I like to use a variety of colors.

- Lemon pepper.
- Cooking oil - I use olive oil in this recipe, but any high-smoke point oil will also do.
how to make air fryer chicken fajitas
We start by preheating the air fryer to 390°F (200°)C.
While the air fryer heats, toss sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions in a bowl with olive oil, fajita seasoning, and lemon pepper until well coated.
Spread everything out evenly in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 15 minutes, giving it a good shake or stir halfway through, until the chicken is cooked (the chicken should have a minimum internal temperature of at least 165°F or 74°C.
Pile onto warm tortillas and serve with guacamole, salsa, some sour cream or Greek yogurt, or whatever toppings you like.
