Sizzling Fajitas Made Easy

Break Free from Tex-Mex Restaurant Chains

Fajitas don’t have to be a dramatic, sizzling-cast-iron-pan experience at your local Tex-Mex restaurant. With a simple marinade, some charred veggies, and a few fixin’s, you can whip up an easy and healthy weeknight dinner that’s sure to impress.

The Perfect Blend of Flavors

Our recipe features a mouthwatering marinade made with fresh cilantro, garlic, chili powder, coriander, cumin, lime juice, and olive oil. This flavorful blend will make your taste buds dance!

Marinate, Grill, and Serve

To start, place the chicken in the marinade for at least 10 minutes or up to 24 hours. Then, heat a grill pan to medium and cook the chicken until well browned on both sides. Set it aside to rest while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Veggie Delight

Toss sliced bell peppers and onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and cook them in a single layer on the grill pan until tender and slightly charred. Transfer them to a serving dish and warm your tortillas by heating them in a dry pan.

Assemble and Enjoy

Slice the chicken against the grain and place it in the serving dish with the vegetables. Fill a warm tortilla with chicken and veggies, and top with your favorite fixin’s like guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
