Air fryer chicken fajitas

Ingredients - for the fajitas

• 2 peppers, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
• 300g chicken breast, sliced in thin strips
• 1/2 lime
• 1 Tbsp oil
• 30g fajita seasoning
• Wraps, coriander and 1/2 an avocado, to serve

Yoghurt sauce

• 100g yoghurt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Method

1. Just toss into your air fryer basket the peppers, onion, garlic, chicken, a squeeze of lime juice, a dash of oil, and some fajita seasoning. Combine them all well with tongs for an even coat.
2. Cook your fajita mix in the air fryer for a speedy 12 minutes at 180C. Don't forget to shake things up halfway - pull the drawer out and give it all a good toss.
3. As that cooks, whip up your garlic yoghurt sauce by mixing together the ingredients.
4. When it's time to bring it all together, load your chicken and veg high on the wraps. Drizzle with that garlicky sauce, then add creamy avocado and a sprinkle of coriander for that extra zing.
5. Feel free to crown it with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, or any fridge favourites. Flo enthused: "It's a perfect high protein and budget friendly meal, and it tastes delicious."
