Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
  • In a bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers and sliced yellow onion with half of the vegetable oil and half of the fajita seasoning until evenly coated.
  • Add the seasoned vegetables to the air fryer basket in a single layer if possible. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  • While the vegetables cook, place the shrimp in a separate bowl and toss with the remaining vegetable oil and remaining fajita seasoning until evenly coated.
  • When the 3 minutes are up, open the air fryer and push the vegetables to one side of the basket to make room (or remove them briefly to a plate if your basket is small). Add the shrimp in a single layer on the empty side.
  • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6 minutes, flipping the shrimp and stirring the vegetables halfway through (about 3 minutes) so everything cooks evenly.
  • Confirm the shrimp are opaque and cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp, then transfer and mix the shrimp and vegetables together.
  • Divide the shrimp and vegetables among the 4 tortillas. Top with pico de gallo, avocado slices, and lime crema, then serve immediately.

Notes

Use raw thawed shrimp (uncooked). You can leave the tails or discard them, I leave them purely for the aesthetics.
Shrimp size: I used 21-25 shrimp count.
