Ingredients:

What makes a fajita a fajita? Did you know that Fajitas are a tex-mex creation. The standard for fajitas is that the meat and onions and peppers are cut into strips, grilled and served nice and hot! Here are the ingredients you’ll need for these chicken fajitas.

• Marinade ingredients– lime juice, honey, olive oil, grated garlic cloves, salt, cumin & chili powder. This combination is just so good!
• Chicken Thighs–
• Bell Peppers, Poblano Peppers & Onions– I love to throw in poblano peppers to add some variety. If you like spicy foods feel free to add a few hot peppers.
• For serving– tortillas, avocados and cilantro. If you’d like feel free to add some cheese, queso or salsa! That’s the beauty of Mexican food, it’s a build your own style dinner.

How to prep chicken fajitas for camping

If you’re taking your Blackstone griddle on the road you might want to do a few meal prep steps before you leave to make cooking at the campsite quick and easy. I would recommend these two prep steps:

1. Make the marinade and put the chicken with the marinade in a gallon size bag.
2. Slice all the onions and peppers and place them in a air tight container.

How to make Blackstone Griddle Chicken Fajitas

Step 1:

Make the marinade. I created a sweet honey lime marinade that makes the chicken thighs delicious! You can marinade the chicken overnight or just 30 minutes before cooking. Although I recommend at least a few hours to get the best flavor.

Step 2:

Preheat the griddle and then cook the chicken. The chicken should sizzle when placed on the griddle. You’ll want to squirt a little bit of oil onto the cooktop before you add the chicken. Let the chicken cook for 5 minutes before turning to get a nice brown crust.

Step 3:

Turn the chicken thighs and then place a disposable aluminum pan on top of them to hold the heat in while cooking. Get your meat thermometer out to check for doneness. Chicken is done when the internal temperature is 165. If you don’t have a meat thermometer get one! I use my thermopro almost daily!

Step 4:

Cook the veggies! The amount of time you cook the peppers and onions is up to you. I like to use the same disposable aluminum pan and cover the veggies for 5 minute increments to get them to cook a little faster.

It is helpful to squirt a little bit of water on the peppers and onions after they’ve been cooking for a few minutes to help speed the process. I like my vegetables soft with a little bit of crispness still there. It took me 15 minutes to get to the doneness in the photo below.

Step 5:

Assemble and serve! Our family likes flour tortillas, avocados and cilantro but assemble your fajitas anyway you like! Add some salsa, sour cream or guacamole, use corn tortillas or even throw the tortillas on the griddle. The best meal is where everyone can choose what they put on their own plate, fajitas are perfect for that!
