I put off getting an air fryer for so long … I didn’t want to get another fad appliance that would just sit in storage! But so far I have been using it so much it has been allowed to stay on the counter – Decided to try making all the ingredients for fajitas in there… and they turned out great!

Best part? I cooked once and this meal has already been eaten in two different ways!

I’m sure this meal could be done in the oven or stove top too –

Here is how it went down!

1. Cut up your proteins! I chose chicken breasts and venison steak and sliced them into even strips. Added them to a bowl and seasoned with Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning – but use whatever you have on hand! (I’ll post the link to the seasoning below)

2. Set your air fryer to 400 degrees and start! I let it run for about 4 minutes and then sprayed the basket with cooking spray before adding the meat.

3. Let cook for about 6 minutes and flip the chicken and steak! Cook another 6 minutes and remove. (I like my steak medium rare … so cook to your own liking)

4. Meanwhile… get going with your veggie while the meat is cooking. I used 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, a container of sliced white mushrooms and half of an onion sliced into strips. I added all the veggies to a bowl and seasoned again with the Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning.

5. Clean out your basket of your air fryer – and now spray again before adding all the veggies. I cooked them at 400 for about 10 minutes and shaking them up about half way through.

Now grab a bowl and start layering!

layer one: a few greens! (I used a favorite chopped salad mix)
layer two: all the meat!

layer three: the peppers, onions and mushrooms
layer four: a drizzle of chipotle ranch and hot sauce
layer five: a few crunched up nacho chips

You could also add any of your favorite fajita toppings! Some ideas are guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, black beans – whatever comes to mind.

Best part of this? It was made multiple ways – You could also add the fixings to a tortilla!

The possibilities are endless!
