01
Step 1
Start by mixing the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from one lime over the turkey breast, then sprinkle the seasoning mix all over the meat. Drizzle in a tablespoon of oil and toss everything together so the turkey is nicely coated. Set it aside for a bit.

Step 2
Next, chop up the bell peppers and onion, put them in a bowl, and toss with the remaining oil until everything is coated.

Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). When it’s ready, cook the peppers and onions for about 8 minutes. Give the basket a good shake, then cook for another 5 minutes. Add the jalapeños and cook for 5 more minutes.
