Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep the tacos warm while you cook them in batches. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips, then toss them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and half of the fajita seasoning until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the ground chicken with the remaining fajita seasoning and mix until well incorporated. Divide the seasoned chicken evenly among the tortillas, pressing it into a thin, even layer that reaches almost to the edges of each tortilla.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet with the chicken side facing down, then use a spatula to firmly press it flat. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Carefully flip the taco and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to crisp the tortilla. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet and keep it warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
While the tacos are cooking, heat a little olive oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned peppers and onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
To assemble, top each crispy smashed taco with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and a generous spoonful of the cooked fajita vegetables. Fold each taco in half and serve immediately while they’re hot and crispy.
