Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)
  • Sour cream or guacamole (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade and toss until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Cook the Fajitas: Place the marinated chicken, bell pepper, and onion in the air fryer basket. Toss them to ensure an even coating of the seasoning. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges. Enjoy the fajitas on their own, or with keto-friendly sides like guacamole or sour cream.
