Tangy Chicken Fajitas are EASY and FULL of flavor!  Tender chicken, fresh peppers, and a tangy marinade combine to great the best chicken fajitas with a little zing!

I’ve been making these delicious fajitas for years. It’s always a favorite at this nest! What’s not to love when it involves a roasted flour tortilla filled with tender chunks of chicken loaded with zesty flavor and all your favorite toppings.

To go with my Fajita’s I made my Fresh Salsa. I love Fresh Salsa with my Mexican Food. It works great in my Guacamole… and I’m not having Fajita’s if I can’t have my “green’s” with it! (If ya know what I mean?)

I don’t get people who don’t like Avocado! My husbands’ family had a 20 acre Avocado Ranch…Them hills were filled with “gold”! So, you could say we are avocado lovers!

Let’s make Chicken Fajita’s!

Oh, and if you are going to make these right…you have to say it right… You must say it like I do…FaaaaaaaHeeeeeetaaaaa’s! Add a little accent…you got it!

Start off with beautiful colorful peppers!

I’m not a huge fan of Green Bell Peppers! (Gasp!)  However, I do love red, yellow, and orange peppers and …they have a wonderful mild flavor…and “pretty colors”.

Cut them into thin strips along with one medium onion. White onions work great if you’re wanting a mild flavor.

Slice your boneless skinless chicken breast into thin strips.

TIP: I cut thin strips and then cut those strips in half just so they are more “bite sized” you don’t have to though! You can leave them just like the picture above.

Place all those beautiful peppers and onions you’ve sliced, and the chicken, into a big bowl.

Creating Fajita Marinade for Chicken

In a small bowl mix together the marinade ingredients. Blend well with a wire whisk. Pour the marinade over all of it, cover, and refrigerate 3–6 hours. (You could even leave it overnight.)

This is a good time to make your guacamole! Maybe do a little dancing!

How to Store Prepared Guacamole

TIP: Here’s a little secret to guacamole! Don’t worry about putting lemon juice or the avocado pit in there to keep it from turning brown. Mix up your Guacamole and place it in the bottom of an airtight container.

Tear off a piece of plastic wrap and lay it on top of your guacamole. Press the plastic wrap down into the Guacamole all the way to the edge of your airtight container.

Don’t leave any air bubbles or any way for ANY air to get to it. Place the lid on top of your container and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

When ready to serve remove the plastic wrap and stir it up a bit.  It’s good to go! You’ll have some slight discoloration on top, but not puke brown!

We have everything ready now to finish up these amazing Fajita’s!

How To Cook Chicken Fajitas

You can make these in a skillet on top of the stove but, since it is a Bazillion Trillion degrees in the summer… there was NO way we were going to add any extra heat to my kitchen.

We went for the outdoor grill! Just to make the neighbor’s jealous! This works great on a Blackstone Grill if you have one! If not use a grill basket.

Drain the excess marinade from the peppers and chicken. Heat up the grill and the basket.

When it’s nice and hot, place the Fajita mix into the basket, or on top of your griddle. Keep turning and grilling fajitas until they are completely cooked.

Some of those peppers and onions are slippery little devils, and they’ll make their escape into the flames! Look close…you’ll see our escapee’s!

Mars also heated our flour tortilla’s on the grill. Mars is superb at multitasking on the grill. He was flipping’ those tortillas to a perfect golden brown and stirring Fajita’s at the same time! He’s amazing like that!

We LOVE tortilla’s done on the grill. I realize generally Fajitas are served with soft flour tortilla’s but, trust me on this one, we were both over the moon, with the crispy grilled tortilla’s!

When it’s all done a cooking’ you have a beautiful plate of Heavenly Yum! Ahhhhh! “Hi, heavenly yum!”

Let’s get going… Time to fill those bad boy tortilla’s with all this goodness! (Seeing this… I can taste them all over again, and they are SO good!)

Finishing up Grilled Chicken Fajitas

Add your favorite toppings! We love the fresh salsa, sour cream, cheese and some of that amazing Guacamole! Serve it up with some rice and beans, or call it good as is!
