Air Fryer Steak Fajitas

Air Fryer Steak Fajitas are a quick and delicious meal. Can be made in less than 15 minutes and with minimal cleanup.

This is a great dinner to make when you are short on time. Make it a complete meal with Pico de Gallo, sweet corn cake and Spanish rice. 

Steak in the air fryer is so good! It turns out juicy and cooks quickly. 

This can also be a wonderful meal choice for a low-carb and Keto friendly dinner.

Why this recipe works

• Easy to make and easy cleanup. Adding foil to the cooking basket helps to keep it clean. 
• Very customizable. Make it your own with your favorite toppings. 
• Make a little extra for meal prep for the week.

What you need

Just need a few simple ingredients for this base recipe. Feel free to add and change according to your taste. 

Steak – Sirloin, flank and skirt steak are great choices for this meal. Make sure to slice thin and against the grain. Skirt steak would be the number one choice because it’s very tender and flavorful. 

Bell Peppers – Choose your favorite bell peppers. I like red and green for this recipe to add color. 

Onions – Yellow or white work well. Slice them and then cut slices in half.

Spices – This recipe has a homemade fajita spice mix. Feel free to use a packaged spice mix or even a marinade if you have extra time.  

Vegetable or Olive Oil – This helps to disperse the spices on the meat and veggies.

Sometimes I will also include sliced mushrooms in the mixture.

Tips

• Be sure to slice veggies and steak thin so they cook easily. **Cooking time may vary between air fryers and how thick the meat is cut. 
• You could substitute chicken for steak just adjust cooking time to about 7 minutes for thin sliced meat.
• Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a skillet or back in the air fryer for about 2-3 minutes. 

What air fryer to use?

Currently I use a 5.8 quart Corsi. We have a family of 5 and the size and functionality work well.
