Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until blended.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes. Toss chicken, bell peppers, and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle the spice mix.
  3. Place the mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Warm tortillas slightly, then fill them with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add preferred toppings.
