Recipe Tips
- I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is ready by the time you pull it out of the air fryer. The thickest part of the chicken should reach at least 75°C (170°F).
- You can replace the cooking oil with olive oil.
- Make sure the chicken thigh or chicken breasts are boneless and skinless.
- Shaking the air fryer basket helps ensure that the chicken and vegetables cook evenly. However, you can leave the air fryer undisturbed for the entire cooking time.
- The type of bell pepper you use is entirely up to you. For aesthetics, I like to have two different colored bell peppers. For example, I use red and green bell peppers.
- For the best results, do not slice the bell peppers and chicken too thin or too thick. No thicker than 1cm (0.4 in).
- You can use a store-bought fajita seasoning mixture, or you can make one yourself.
- To ensure this recipe is gluten-free, make sure you use a gluten-free tortilla.
