Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb skirt steak
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ancho chili pepper
  • 1/2 cup lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Cut the skirt steak in narrow strips (against the grain)
  • Combine all of the remaining ingredients into a large bowl and whisk until combined
  • Add the steak strips to the bowl and toss to combine until all of the meat is fully coated with the marinade
  • Cover and marinade in the fridge for 2 hours up to overnight
  • Depending on the size of your air fryer (I used a 7.25 qt), add 1/3 of the meat mixture to the air fryer basket and cook at 390 degrees for 15 minutes, shaking or stirring the meat at least twice.
  • Transfer meat to a clean bowl, cover, and add the next batch of meat to the air fryer and repeat the process above until you have cooked all of the meat.
  • Serve on your favorite tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Veggies:
If you want to include peppers and onions in your fajitas, increase the marinade quantity by 25%-50% more depending on how many veggies you add. The cook process is the same, it just may take more batches. Alternatively, you can marinade and cook the veggies separately from the meat.
Nutrition and serving size:
When it comes to tacos, the serving size and calories will vary depending on the size and type of the tortilla (burrito size, tacos size, corn, flour, etc). The calorie value shown is based on the MEAT ONLY and dividing it into 8 servings, You could get 1-3 fajitas out of a serving (or even more if using street taco sized tortillas). But remember, that calories shown are just for a serving of meat, you have to add the tortilla calories to that.
