How to make Air Fryer Fajitas

Prepare your veggies and tofu.

I allowed the tofu to drain for 30 minutes then cut it into squares.

Slice the bell peppers and onions into thick strips.

I like to start by cooking the tofu then adding the veggies as tofu needs a little longer to crisp up

In a large mixing bowl, add the tofu, fajita seasoning and oil. Toss to coat well.

step by step - how to make air fryer fajitas - drained tofu pieces in a bowl with fajita seasoning - 5 Tofu pieces mixed with seasoning and oil in a mixing bowl - 6 marinated tofu pieces in the air fryer basket - 7 air fried tofu pieces for fajita in the air fryer basket - 8

Place in a preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry the tofu until it has just begun to crisp up or for around 3-5 minutes.

Whilst the tofu is cooking, mix the peppers and onions with the seasoning, oil and crushed tomatoes.

Mixed peppers an onions with seasoning in a bowl - 9 peppers and onions combined with seasoning and oil - 10

Once the tofu is starting to crisp, add in the peppers and onion mixture and air fry everything for another 4-5 minutes. You want to keep the veggies crunchy rather than soft so do not overcook.

For a smaller air fryer, you may have to work in batches.

Onions and peppers added to the half cooked tofu pieces in the air fryer basket - 11 cooked air fryer fajitas ready to serve on the table - 12 vegan fajitas served with soft drinks on the side - 13

Pro Tips

Ensure to drain the tofu thoroughly. Soggy tofu will lead to longer cooking times and a spongy texture

Cook the tofu before the peppers and onions. Peppers will start to burn and the tofu will not crisp up if it is all added at once.

Subtitution & Swaps

Oil-free fajitas – simply skip oil or oil spray totally.

Gluten- free – the fajita filling is naturally gluten-free. Use corn tortillas or gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.

Grain – free – You can even substitute the tortillas for lettuce and serve the air fryer fajita tofu and vegetables as a salad or lettuce wrap.

Serving Suggestion

You can go with any of your favourite Mexican toppings here:

  • Top with sour cream or cilantro Pesto or sour cream and chive dip
  • mango pico de gallo
  • mango and avocado salsa or guacamole
  • fresh strawberry avocado salsa
  • fresh cilantro and jalapeños
  • you can also add grated cheddar cheese or vegan cheese of choice
  • serve with lime slices or lime wedges

Wrap in either corn tortillas or flour tortillas for a complete meal.

Make it a fajita bowl with the above and Instant Pot Mexican Cilantro Lime Rice . Serve some Air Fryer Carrot Fries on the side.

I love this Mango Mocktail as a refreshing drink

Finish with this Mexican strawberries and cream – Fresas con Crema .

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or the air fryer.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe – the tofu and cooked veggies will loose their texture in the freezer and upon thawing.

Peanut butter mousse is a delicious and creamy dessert made primarily from peanut butter, whipped cream, and often some sugar to sweeten the mixture.

The addition of cream cheese adds extra thickness and creaminess.

The result is a light and airy texture that is perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.

The creamy peanut butter flavor is so addictive but you can definitely use other nut butters. Almond butter is a brilliant alternative. Use leftover peanut butter in these vegan peanut butter oatmeal cookies .
