Time 50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lime (2" dia)s limes, juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 large yellow bell peppers
2 large red bell peppers
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Whisk lime juice, olive oil, and fajita seasoning together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Cut bell peppers in half and discard the inner membranes and seeds.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Place chicken and peppers (cut-sides down) on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, and peppers have nice grill marks on them, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Cut peppers and chicken into strips and serve on tortillas.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and pepper
1 pound bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 small red onion (about 3 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
8 fajita-size tortillas, warmed
Guacamole, pico de gallo, hot sauce and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a grill-safe pizza stone (see Cook's Note) that is at least 14 inches in diameter on a grill. For gas grills with 3 or more burners: Turn all the burners to high heat and close the lid. Let the stone heat until the internal temperature of the grill is 500 degrees F, about 15 minutes. For charcoal grills: Fill a chimney starter with enough charcoal for high heat, then light it (be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for the best results for high-heat cooking). Close the lid and let the stone heat until the internal temperature of the grill is 500 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the marinade. Mix the olive oil, chili powder, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer half of the mixture (about 1/4 cup) to another medium bowl. Add the peppers and onions to one bowl and mix to combine. Add the chicken to the other bowl and mix to combine.
  • Place the chicken on one half of the pizza stone and the peppers and onions on the other half. Close the grill and cook until the chicken is cooked through, has a nice char on the bottom and the vegetables are softened and caramelized on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes (3 to 5 minutes if using a charcoal grill).
  • Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter and serve in the tortillas with the guacamole, pico de gallo, hot sauce and sour cream, if desired.
