Servings:

Pre-heat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Place chicken, peppers, and onions into a mixing bowl, along with the oil and fajita seasoning. Toss to coat.
1 ½ pounds chicken breast, sliced, 2 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips, 1 purple onion, sliced thinly, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 4 tablespoons fajita seasoning
Add the seasoned chicken mixture to the air fryer basket. You can crowd the basket but don’t overfill it. If needed, cook the mixture in 2 batches.
Cook each batch for 10 minutes. Remove and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Warm the tortillas and add a spread of sour cream. Add the cooked chicken mixture, and top with cheese and cilantro.
8 6 inch flour tortillas, crumbled cotija cheese or shredded jack cheese , sour cream , chopped cilantro

Try to cut the chicken and vegetables into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
You can also use sliced portobello mushrooms in the main filling instead of or along with the bell peppers.
Add some heat by including sliced jalapeños or serrano peppers in the mix. You can also sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper into the seasoning mix for an extra kick.
Add some sweetness and tang by including fresh pineapple chunks in your fajita mix. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs well with the savory flavors of the chicken and vegetables.
Instead of serving the fajitas in tortillas, serve them over cooked rice or quinoa for a fajita bowl. Top with your favorite toppings like avocado slices, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
Instead of traditional flour tortillas, use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option or make homemade tortillas using alternative flours like almond or coconut flour.
