Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, and spices. Toss everything together until well-coated.
Cooking

  2. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking. The shrimp should be opaque and cooked through.

  2. Fill each tortilla with the shrimp and veggie mixture.
  3. Garnish with your favorite toppings and squeeze some lime over for extra zest!
