Step-by-Step Guide
- Preparation: Start by slicing the chicken breasts, bell peppers, and onion into thin strips. This ensures they cook evenly and quickly on the griddle.
- Seasoning: In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with fajita seasoning. Ensure each piece is well-coated for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Griddle: Heat your Blackstone griddle to a medium-high heat. It’s crucial for the surface to be hot enough to sear the chicken and veggies, giving them a delightful char.
- Cooking the Chicken: Drizzle some olive oil on the griddle and lay the chicken strips down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they’re browned and cooked through.
- Veggies Time: Push the cooked chicken to one side of the griddle. Add a bit more oil, and then the sliced peppers and onions. Cook these until they’re soft and slightly caramelized, stirring frequently.
- Combine and Serve: Mix the chicken and veggies together on the griddle. Squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor.
- Warm the Tortillas: On a cooler part of the griddle, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Assemble the Fajitas: Serve the chicken and veggies on the warm tortillas. Add cheese, sour cream, and guacamole as desired.
With these simple steps, you can bring the taste of Mi Pueblito’s Chicken Fajitas to your table. The Blackstone griddle adds a unique flavor that makes these fajitas stand out. Enjoy your meal with friends and family, and don’t forget to pair it with your favorite sides and toppings!
