Ingredients Needed for Blackstone Fajitas

• Skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips - They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked.  When reading labels for chicken breasts try to find ones that say Organic or Free Range. 
• Bell peppers - Use a mix of colors like red, green, and yellow for flavor and visual appeal.
• Onion - Yellow or white onions work best and add sweetness as they cook.
• Olive oil - Use an organic olive oil, I really like the Simply Nature brand from Aldi.
• Chicken fajita seasoning - You can use a store-bought blend or make your own with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Tortillas - I really like the Street Style zero net carb tortillas from Mission. Flour or corn will work.
• Optional toppings for fajitas: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa
• See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

How to Make Blackstone Fajitas

Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Grease the Blackstone griddle with oil and spread it out.

Step 2: Once the griddle is hot, add the chicken and vegetable mixture to the griddle. Season the chicken and vegetables with Fajita seasoning.

Recipe Note: This can also be made on a Ninja Foodi Outdoor Grill with the griddle attachment plate. I actually made this recipe on both.

Step 3: Cook, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.

Serve on tortillas with desired toppings. Enjoy!

Pro Tips for Blackstone Chicken Fajitas

• Slice everything evenly so it cooks at the same rate.
• Do not overcrowd the griddle. Cook in batches if needed to avoid steaming.
• Let the chicken sit undisturbed at first to develop a good sear.
• Use chicken thighs if you want extra juicy results.
• Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end for the best flavor.

Storage

Store leftover chicken fajitas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To reheat, place the mixture back on the Blackstone or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can also microwave it, but reheating on a hot surface helps maintain texture.

You can freeze the cooked chicken and vegetables for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Blackstone chicken fajitas with warm tortillas and classic toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, 3 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe, and Smoked Salsa.

You can use the leftovers in salads, wraps, or even quesadillas the next day.

For a complete meal, pair them with sides like grilled corn, chips and salsa, or seasoned rice.
