Notes
*Chicken thighs cut into strips, or pre-cut tenders will also work.
**If you don’t have a packet of fajita seasoning to use, you can make homemade fajita seasoning by combining equal parts of chili powder with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and onion powder.
Tips:
- The fajita mixture alone is low-carb.
- Slice your vegetables evenly into medium-thin slices. If they're too thin, they will burn before the chicken cooks through.
- I like to add some red pepper flakes to make my fajitas spicier.
- I recommend using air fryer parchment liners for easier cleanup.
- Nutritional information does not include tortillas or optional toppings.
