Grilled Chicken Fajitas

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chicken Fajitas.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a small bowl and whisk together chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to create a flavorful fajita seasoning that will elevate your dish.

2. Step 2

   Next, trim any excess fat from your chicken and place it in a large bowl with a lid.

3. Step 3

   Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle about three-quarters of your homemade fajita seasoning over the chicken.

4. Step 4

   Toss everything together until the chicken is well coated, adding a bit more oil if needed.

5. Step 5

   For an extra burst of flavor, poke the chicken with a knife to help the seasoning soak in, then cover the bowl and give it a good shake.

6. Step 6

   Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, shaking it occasionally to ensure even seasoning.

7. Step 7

   When you’re ready to cook, take the marinated chicken out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour to ensure even cooking.

8. Step 8

   Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

   Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Stack your tortillas in two groups of four and wrap each stack in aluminum foil to keep them warm.

11. Step 11

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

12. Step 12

    Add sliced bell peppers and onions, then stir in the rest of your fajita seasoning.

13. Step 13

    Cook the veggies, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and fragrant, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.

14. Step 14

    While the vegetables are cooking, pop the wrapped tortillas in the oven to warm them up.

15. Step 15

    At the same time, grill the chicken for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until it’s no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
