BLACKSTONE CHICKEN, STEAK AND SHRIMP FAJITA

Blackstone Chicken, Steak and Shrimp Fajita image

Fajitas are a crowd favorite, so we created this recipe to feed a crowd. Tender chicken breasts, juicy skirt steak, briny shrimp and colorful peppers all get tossed in a chipotle-lime marinade to really amp up the flavor. Everything is prepared ahead of time then goes on a super-hot Blackstone® flat-top style griddle to sizzle away and cook in a matter of minutes. Your guests or family are then free to customize their own fajitas with an array of toppings.

Ingredients

1/2 cup lime juice, from about 6 limes
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the griddle
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons chipotle chile powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, each cut in half parallel to the cutting board then sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips 1 skirt steak (about 1 1/4 pounds), sliced against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
2 white onions, thinly sliced
2 orange bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and slice
2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced
2 poblano peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced
2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded (optional) and sliced into rounds
20 fajita-size flour tortillas
Lime wedges, cilantro leaves, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese for serving

Steps:

Whisk together the lime juice, oil, garlic, chile powder, oregano, cumin and 3 tablespoons salt in a medium bowl. Combine all the onions and peppers in a large bowl. Put the chicken, steak and shrimp in 3 individual bowls and evenly divide the marinade between the vegetables and proteins (about 3 tablespoons each). Toss each to coat and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
Set all 4 burners to high on a 36-inch Blackstone® Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes.
Spread a tablespoon of oil on the griddle and add the onions and peppers in a single layer. Cook, tossing with a large metal spatula occasionally, until starting to soften and brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Push the pepper mixture to one half of the griddle then add the chicken in a single layer to the empty half of the griddle; cook until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and push closer to the peppers. Add the steak in a single layer and cook until browned on one side and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the chicken on top of the peppers and flip the steak so it is closer to the peppers. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until browned on one side and the steak is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss everything together and spread in a single layer. The shrimp will continue to cook through. Cook, tossing occasionally until the peppers are soft and everything is well combined, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large serving platter.
Scrape the griddle clean with your spatula and cook the tortillas until hot and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
Serve the fajitas immediately with lime wedges, cilantro leaves, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese.

BOBBY FLAY'S CHICKEN FAJITAS

Bobby Flay's Chicken Fajitas image

These fajitas are healthy, fresh, and delicious! I added a little bit of lime juice to the avocado to prevent browning. I used my magic bullet to make the marinade and other two sauces. These were amazing. I kept it low fat and low calorie by sticking with the recipe, however my boyfriend added cheese and taco sauce because he thinks diet food is junk.

Time 40m

Yield 2 fajitas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 cup packed cilantro leaf, plus extra for serving
1/4 cup lime juice, about 2 limes
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
3 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno, seeded if desired
1 tablespoon honey
kosher salt
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
2 bell peppers, quartered, seeds removed (orange, yellow, & or or red)
1 ripe avocado, halved, seeded and peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

1. Put the cilantro, lime juice, broth, scallions, garlic, jalapeno, honey, and salt in a blender, puree until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons; do not wash out the blender.
Put chicken breasts in a medium bowl and the peppers and onions in another. Divide the remaining cilantro puree evenly between the chicken and the peppers and onions. Toss well to coat the chicken and vegetables and let stand, at room temperature, for 30 minutes.
2. Add the avocado, 1/2 cup water (more or less to get the consistency that you like), and the reserved 2 tablespoons cilantro sauce to the blender. Puree until smooth and season with salt. Set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a small skillet set over medium heat until hot. Add the cumin and coriander and continue to cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour the spices over the yogurt and set aside for the flavors to blend. Stir before serving.
4. Preheat a grill for medium-high/direct heat cooking. Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken and vegetables, turning, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 5 to 8 minutes for the vegetables and 12 to 15 minutes for the chicken. Let chicken rest 5 minutes. Place the tortillas on the grill until just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
5. To assemble the fajitas: slice the onions and peppers into thin strips and then slice the chicken. Place some peppers, onions, chicken and cilantro in a tortilla topped with the spiced yogurt and the avocado sauce.
