Keto Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
An air fryer is a wonderful kitchen appliance to make this classic Mexican dish, fuss-free. It's one of the best air fryer recipes when you need a quick lunch or dinner, or a wonderful meal that the whole family will enjoy. Air frying the meat and vegetables will add an extra crispiness, and the best part – it only takes about 5 minutes of prep time and you can let your air fryer do the rest. Feel free to adjust the amount of Keto fajita seasoning according to your taste. You can also add a pinch of smoked paprika which will add an extra kick to the entire recipe.
How to convert air fryer recipes to oven?
Although you can't truly air fry your food in a conventional oven, you can make a few adjustments to get similar results. If you're trying to make these chicken fajitas in the oven, you'll want to use a perforated baking tray and spread the food evenly. You will also have to increase the cooking time until perfectly golden brown and crispy.
What are other ways to prepare Keto chicken fajitas?
Another great option is to fry your fajitas in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 7-10 minutes or until the steak is cooked throughout and vegetables are golden and crispy. When done, remove from the heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar on top.
What other types of meat can I use?
If you're not a fan of chicken fajitas, you can prepare Keto steak fajitas. In that case, use skirt, flank, or sirloin steak. Slice the steak into strips and follow the recipe.
Can I replace Cheddar cheese?
If you don't like cheddar, sprinkle your fajitas with shredded mozzarella cheese. It will melt perfectly over fried meat and vegetables.
