Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 3 minutes. (3 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, gently combine the shrimp, sliced onion, and bell peppers. Lightly coat the mixture with avocado oil spray, ensuring even distribution. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Evenly sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated. (1 minute)

04

Step

Carefully transfer the seasoned shrimp and vegetables into the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary. (1 minute)

05

Step

Air fry for 8 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender-crisp, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. (8 minutes)

06

Step

Once cooked, immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over the hot shrimp and vegetable mixture. (30 seconds)

07

Step

Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings. (1 minute)

For best results, use high-quality fajita seasoning for a more complex flavor profile.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches to ensure even cooking and optimal crispness.
Feel free to customize your fajitas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, or shredded cheese.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the fajita seasoning.

    The fajita seasoning I used was a little too salty, so I'll use less next time. But overall, a great recipe!
