Instructions

- Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, bell peppers, and onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil. - Season the Fajitas:
In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken and vegetables, tossing everything until evenly coated. - Cook in the Air Fryer:
Place the seasoned chicken and vegetables in the air fryer basket in an even layer (you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer).

Warm the tortillas and serve the chicken and vegetables with your choice of toppings like sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or shredded cheese.
