    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.
