Ingredients for Making Fajitas on the Blackstone
- Oil: I like avocado oil for high heat cooking, but use your favorite. I don’t recommend extra virgin olive oil for cooking on a Blackstone.
- Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice has the most flavor, but bottled works.
- Seasonings: Chile powder, salt, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper add the right punch of flavor. Paprika, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper are great additions.
- Chicken: I used boneless skinless chicken breast, but chicken thighs would also work.
- Onions: Yellow, white, or red onions will all work.
- Bell Peppers: You can use any combination of colors.
- Tortillas: Use corn tortillas or fajita-size flour tortillas.
Tips & Tricks
- I use a custom blend of seasonings, but feel free to use a packet of fajita seasoning if you prefer. (Taco seasoning works too.)
- Craving steak fajitas? Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are good options.
