Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper)
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- 6–8 flour or corn tortillas, warmed
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa
Instructions
- Thinly slice chicken breasts, bell peppers, and onion. Toss chicken with olive oil and fajita seasoning until evenly coated (about 5 minutes).
- Preheat Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until hot but not smoking.
- Spread chicken evenly on the griddle. Let sear without moving for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Push chicken to one side of the griddle. Add sliced peppers and onions with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir occasionally for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp with some char.
- Mix chicken and veggies together on the griddle. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and stir to blend flavors (about 1 minute).
- Warm tortillas on the griddle for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side until warm and pliable.
- Load tortillas with chicken and veggie mixture, add desired toppings, and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the griddle to avoid steaming instead of searing. Preheat griddle well for even heat distribution. Thin, uniform slices of chicken ensure even cooking. Avoid overcooking chicken to keep it juicy. Use corn tortillas for gluten-free option and avocado oil for higher smoke point if preferred.
