Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, and fajita seasoning. Mix everything together until the chicken and vegetables are fully coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You might need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Warm the tortillas as per package instructions. To assemble the fajitas, spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla, and top with your choice of toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Marination Time: For even more flavor, marinate the chicken and veggies with the seasoning and olive oil in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Tortilla Tip: For an extra touch of warmth and softness, lightly char the tortillas on an open flame or in a dry skillet before serving.
- Adjusting Spice Levels: Tailor the heat to your liking by adding more or less of the fajita seasoning. For an extra kick, include some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Vegetarian Variation: Easily make this dish vegetarian by substituting the chicken with portobello mushrooms, tofu, or a plant-based meat alternative.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans for a more filling meal. A fresh salad also pairs well for a lighter option.
- Leftover Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are perfect for a quick lunch the next day or can be used as a tasty filling for wraps or salads.
