- Air Fry the Vegetables:
- While the steak is cooking, add the seasoned vegetables to the air fryer basket or a separate air fryer tray.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Assemble the Fajitas:
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
