This yummy recipe comes from Skinnyish Dish with a few tweaks. The original recipe calls for chicken breasts but I used boneless thighs instead. For the fajita seasoning, I mixed regular paprika with smoked paprika. Smoked paprika gives it a wonderful "cooked over the grill" smokiness but also adds a bit of heat and hubby is sensitive to that. My air fryer is on the smaller side so I cooked my vegetables first to get them nice and charred, put them in a serving dish, then added my chicken to the air fryer. Then I added the onion, which I realized I'd forgotten! It still turned out great!
1 lb. chicken breasts or tenderloins (I used boneless thighs) cut into thin slices
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 red onion
2 to 3 bell peppers green, yellow, red or a combination
3 tsp oil divided (2 tsp for chicken, 1 tsp for peppers/onions)
Cooking spray
salt and pepper, to taste
juice of one lime and cilantro optional
Fajita Seasoning
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1½ tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika for less spice or a combination)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
Mix fajita seasoning and set aside.
Slice peppers into thin strips. Dry chicken on paper towels and slice.
Add peppers and onions to a bowl and add fajita seasoning. Mix well (use your hands.)
Add chicken to bowl with peppers and onions and mix again so all the ingredients are well coated.
Spray air fryer with cooking spray and heat to 400 degrees. Add chicken and vegetables and cook 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket half-way through.
Serve with warm tortillas.

A Berry Suspicious Death is now out!
Weddings are murder in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran!
The
cranberry bogs at Sassamanash Farms have never looked more festive than
when Monica’s half-brother celebrates his wedding there. It’s a
genuinely joyous occasion, and even greeting a strange assortment of
guests and witnessing a heated argument can’t spoil Monica’s mood. But
that all changes when one of the guests is found murdered at the
reception—and then one of Monica’s employees is accused of doing the
deed to get his hands on the dead woman’s money.
It doesn’t take
long for Monica to discover that the victim had amassed her fortune by
marrying a very wealthy—and very ill—older man. What’s more, the old
man’s daughters despised the scheming, gold-digging woman, and thought
the inheritance money should have been theirs. That seems like motive
enough for murder, but Monica suspects there’s more to this case than
simple greed. With her employee in hot water and time running out,
Monica will have to act fast to catch the killer, before a case that
started with a family wedding ends with her own funeral . ..
