What are the ingredients in these Air Fryer Fajita Vegetables?

Onions – white, yellow or sweet onions would all work great with these fajitas
Bell peppers– use any combination of peppers that you prefer. I used 3 red bell peppers, two yellow bell peppers and one green bell pepper. The red, orange and yellow bell peppers are much sweeter than green bell peppers, so choose your mixture to meet your preferences.
Olive oil
Chili powder
Smoked paprika
Garlic powder
Ground coriander
Cherry tomatoes– you don’t want to substitute chopped regular tomatoes for the cherry tomatoes in this dish as they will be more likely to break down and put too much liquid in your dish.

How do you make Air Fryer Fajita Vegetables?

The beauty of these fajitas is just how unbelievably easy they are to make. The air fryer allows these fajitas to be made in almost no time. The combo of the air fryer and the seasonings gives this air fryer version the flavor of freshly grilled fajitas with only a fraction of the effort.

To make these fajitas, start by preparing your veggies. Peel, halve and thinly slice the onions. Core and thinly slice the bell peppers. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

Place the onions and peppers in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and toss well to coat. In a small bowl combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder and ground coriander. Sprinkle over the peppers and onions and stir well until the veggies are evenly coated.

Preheat the air fryer to 400. Add the peppers and onions to the air fryer for 10 minutes, toss and then cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir well to combine. Cook for 5 more minutes and then remove from the air fryer. And that’s it. All the flavor of complicated fajitas, with just about no hands on time.

What Veggies go in Fajitas?

We made these fajita veggies for the air fryer using tri-colored bell peppers, onions and cherry tomatoes. Portobello or Baby Bella Mushrooms would also work great if you are a mushroom fan.

How to Slice Veggies For Fajitas

For fajitas, veggies are typically cut into thin strips for even cooking and assembly.

How to top these Air Fryer Fajita Vegetables?

One of the best parts of fajitas is how easy they are to make your own. I usually serve these much like traditional fajitas by setting out a bunch of toppings and letting everyone top their own fajitas the way they like. Here are some things you may like to include:

Flour tortillas–I like to serve these with smaller tortillas to make them easier to pick up, especially for kids, but you can certainly serve these with larger wraps if that is your preference.
Cheese- shredded sharp cheddar cheese or crumbled cotija will both be amazing when served with these fajitas.
Sour cream
Fresh cilantro
Salsa or taco sauce
Lime wedges to squeeze
Hot sauce
If you wanted to add some protein you could also have strips of chicken, steak or some beans.
