Notes
Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier option.
Feel free to swap in other veggies like zucchini or mushrooms if you have extras to use up.
If you don’t have fajita seasoning, mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder as a quick substitute.
For best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer and cook in batches if needed to get a nice char.
