Chicken fajitas are one of our favorite easy weeknight meals. We make them most every Monday!

The ingredients are simple, and they can be tailored to fit whatever we have on hand.

This Blackstone fajita variation is incredibly delicious - the extra layer of charred flavor from the Blackstone griddle takes them over the top!

Give them a try with my Mexican Cornbread and Mexican Slaw. These easy fajitas are also fabulous with Spanish Cauliflower Rice, Instant Pot Spanish Brown Rice or Mexican Quinoa,

Let's Talk Ingredients

You can use any oil you like, as long as it can withstand high heat. Avocado oil is the go-to in my kitchen. I don’t recommend extra virgin olive oil on the Blackstone due to its low smoke point.

We make this recipe as written every week, but I’ve also tested other seasonings. Paprika, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper are all great additions. For a fun twist, use the marinade in this fajita recipe. It is so good!

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.
