📝 Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • For serving: tortillas, lime wedges, sour cream, guacamole, etc. (optional, to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt & pepper to a small bowl and mix together.
  2. 2Place the sliced chicken breasts and veggies into a large prep bowl and pour the olive oil over top. Toss until the chicken and veggies are nicely coated in the oil. Sprinkle half the spice mixture on top and use your hands to toss, then add the remaining spice mixture and toss again so everything is well coated.
  3. 3Pour the contents of the bowl into your air fryer basket.
  4. 4Cook at 400F (I don't preheat the air fryer) for 15 minutes, using tongs after 10 minutes to turn/toss the chicken and veggies. As all air fryers vary, test a piece of chicken after 15 minutes to ensure it's fully cooked. If needed, pop the basket back in the air fryer for an extra minute or two.
  5. 5Serve as desired with warmed tortillas, sour cream, etc.
