Instructions
Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. A hot griddle will ensure that the chicken cooks quickly and evenly, while the veggies get that perfect char.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients together until well combined. Then, toss the chicken strips in the seasoning mixture, making sure the chicken is evenly coated. This seasoning blend will add a smoky, spicy, and aromatic flavor to your chicken.
Once the griddle is hot, add the seasoned chicken strips to the cooking surface. Allow the chicken to cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure it’s cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. The chicken should be golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside.
While the chicken is cooking, add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the griddle. You can either cook them in a separate section of the griddle or on the same side as the chicken if there’s enough space. Stir the vegetables occasionally and cook them for 3-4 minutes until they become tender and slightly charred. The slight char from the griddle adds a delicious smoky flavor to the veggies, which complements the chicken perfectly.
To warm the tortillas, place them on the griddle for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, flipping them halfway through. You want them to be soft and pliable but not crispy. This step adds a nice warmth to the tortillas and enhances the overall texture of the fajitas.
Once all the components are cooked, it’s time to assemble your Blackstone Chicken Fajitas. Lay the warm tortillas flat and add a portion of the cooked chicken, peppers, and onions to each tortilla.
To take your fajitas to the next level, add any optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, and cilantro. These toppings not only enhance the flavor but also add texture and freshness to the dish.
