Grilled Chicken Fajitas

Course: Main Course
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts or enough to serve your crowd
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 purple onions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • flour tortillas
  • tomatoes/salsa/guacamole or toppings of your choosing

Instructions

  • Prepare the Fajita Spice Marinade in a large bowl. Put aside.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts (you can also use skirt steak or a combination of the two) and poke with a fork several times (this allows the marinade to seep in).
  • Place the proteins into the marinade and stir to completely cover. Marinate 1 hour at room temperature, or longer in the refrigerator. An overnight marinade in the fridge is best.
  • 30-60 minutes before grilling, place the marinating chicken bowl on the counter to come to room temperature.
  • Once at temp, grill the chicken until cooked through. Once your proteins are cooked, allow them to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice on a bias and place on a serving plate. While the proteins are cooking, prepare your onions and peppers.
  • Wash, dry, and slice your veggies and place into a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a large pinch of salt & ground pepper. Toss to coat.
  • In an extremely hot sauté pan on the stove top or grill, quickly sauté the vegetables just until slightly softened. Remove from the heat and place onto a serving bowl.

Notes

We like to have fresh salsa & guacamole available as well as diced tomato and hot Thai chilies (or jalapeños, whichever spice level you prefer) for an extra "kick"!
