Notes

  • For best results, slice the chicken and vegetables thinly so they cook evenly in the air fryer.
  • You can use shop-bought fajita seasoning or make your own blend with paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano.
  • Greek yoghurt works well for the sauce, or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • These fajitas are also great for meal prep—store the cooked filling in the fridge and reheat when needed.
  • Serve with wraps, lettuce cups, or a side of rice for a customisable, high-protein meal.
