Air Fryer Beef Fajitas Recipe

Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

• 1 pound skirt steak
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red onion

Seasonings and Oil

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Slice the skirt steak into thin strips, cutting against the grain to ensure tenderness, then place the strips in a large mixing bowl.
2. Cut the red and green bell peppers and the red onion into similar thin strips, and add them to the bowl with the steak.
3. Drizzle the tablespoon of oil over the combined steak and vegetables to help with seasoning adhesion and cooking.
4. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper; stir well to create a spice blend.
5. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the steak and vegetables, then toss everything together thoroughly to coat all pieces well.
6. Place the seasoned mixture into an oiled air fryer basket and cook at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes, gently shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
7. Once cooked, serve the fajita mixture hot with tortillas and your preferred toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Notes

• Flank steak or sirloin steak can be used instead of skirt steak if preferred or easier to find.
• To make this recipe keto friendly, omit the sugar or substitute with a keto-friendly sweetener and consider serving over a salad instead of tortillas.
• Shaking the basket during cooking helps the fajitas cook evenly and prevents sticking.
• Adjust cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
