Grilled chicken fajitas. -Fajitas are made with strips of sauteed or grilled chicken or beef (often with onions and bell peppers). They're usually served with flour tortillas on the side and other condiments like guacamole, salsa, sour cream and/or cheese that can be rolled into the tortillas with the meat.

Grilled Chicken Fajitas are a summertime version of our favorite Chicken Fajita recipe! Tender juicy chicken breasts in a homemade fajita marinade are grilled to perfection and served along with bell peppers and onions. Wrap these fajitas in soft tortillas and serve alongside Mexican rice or a fresh corn salad for the perfect summer meal! When my youngest son and daughter-in-love came for a visit last week, I made good use of our grill.
Grilled chicken fajitas instructions
- Filet the chicken and place in a bag or gallon size freezer bag. Season with the fajita seasoning and shake to coat. Drizzle the oil over chicken. Squeeze the lime over the chicken. Stir to combine. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes..
- Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill over medium-high heat for 20 minutes until finished. cut the bell peppers into quarters and place on the grill. Slice the onions into fat rings and place on the grill.(Iam using a grill sheet).
- Grill the peppers and onions for 5 minutes or until they are to the tenderness you like. When chicken and peppers are finished, remove from the grill and slice. Place the tortillas on the grill to warm. I like to place them on the lower rack so they get beautiful grill marks on the tortillas. Assemble and serve with any of your favorite fajita toppings. Enjoy!.
- Notes- season peppers with some Olive oil and Fajita seasoning. This is just how i grill my peppers and a few other veggies. (and I change the seasoning depending on what Iam making.)... the recipe didn't call to do this, this is my own personal touch..
- (i dont like hard tortilla shells so,grill marks don't matter to me, to each their own.).
- Notes- i cut my one chicken strip in half and used it for one fajita, easier that way).
But of all the meals I prepared while they were in residence, my grilled chicken fajitas were definitely a favorite - scrumptious, healthy, and so colorful. My grilled chicken fajitas are practically a party. Remove chicken and onion from marinade; reserve marinade. We're making chicken fajitas easier and with better flavor thanks to the Traeger Cast Iron Fajita Plate. From there, add strips of onion and peppers, and cook the chicken next to the plate directly on the grill.
