Wrap these fajitas in soft tortillas and serve alongside cilantro tomato rice or a fresh corn salad for the perfect summer meal!
A Mexican Favorite
Everyone loves to see the server bring that sizzling pan of seasoned grilled chicken fajitas to the table, surrounded by strips of red and green bell peppers and onions. These delicious chicken fajitas are made on the grill, so they’re quick and perfect for a busy weeknight or a hot summer evening! (This recipe works great for beef or steak fajitas too)! We load them up with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and jalapeños!
How to Make Grilled Chicken Fajitas
These healthy chicken fajitas are seasoned with delicious fresh ingredients like cilantro, lime juice, garlic and cumin. Fajita Marinade: Whisk all the ingredients until smooth and add half to the chicken and half of the vegetables and marinate two hours (or longer). If you’d like to make extra, you can even freeze the chicken right in the marinade and once defrosted it can go straight to the grill! Peppers: To make the peppers easy to grill, cut them into halves or quarters so you can handle them without having them slip through the grates. Once they’re done, cut them into strips. Onions: For the onion, I halve it and cut strips while leaving the root intact (almost how you’d cut a bloomin’ onion) and grill it that way. It cooks through beautifully and there are no little pieces slipping through the grill.
