Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings (8 fajitas)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 yellow bell peppers, quartered
1 red bell pepper, quartered
1 yellow onion, cut into thick rounds
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
8 small flour tortillas, warmed
For serving: sour cream, shredded iceberg lettuce, guacamole, shredded cheese and lime wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the peppers, onions and scallions with some of the oil, then sprinkle with a quarter of the spice mix. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then brush with the remaining olive oil and season with the remaining spice mixture.
  • Grill the peppers, onions and scallions until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board. Add the shrimp to the grill and cook just until they turn pink and begin to curl, about 2 minutes per side. Coarsely chop the vegetables and shrimp.
  • Serve with the warm flour tortillas (I like to wrap a stack of tortillas in foil and warm on the grill) and sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, cheese and lime wedges.

BBQ CHICKEN FAJITAS



BBQ Chicken Fajitas image

Nothing says summer like BBQ chicken, but if you're looking for a new way to make it, look no further! This recipe is a Tex-Mex mashup of BBQ chicken and fajitas that is sure to be your new cookout favorite. Fajitas were originally made with skirt steak, but these days, we see it done with chicken, vegetables, seafood and so much more. The BBQ rub makes for tender, juicy and flavorful chicken. I love the addition of a poblano pepper to the charred pepper mix; it adds a bright and savory flavor pop. The sizzle sauce marries a traditional barbecue sauce with a double dose of bright acid from apple cider vinegar and lime. It's all topped with a generous drizzle of a smoky and spicy crema that ties the whole mashup together.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound chicken tenders
3 tablespoons BBQ rub seasoning
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 Maui or sweet onion, halved and sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 orange bell pepper, stemmed and seeded, then sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 red bell pepper, stemmed and seeded, then sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 poblano pepper, stemmed and seeded, then sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup crema
1 chipotle from canned chipotles in adobo, minced, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Eight 6-inch flour tortillas
Avocado oil, for toasting the tortillas
Lime wedges
Kosher salt
Avocado slices
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken tenders in a medium bowl by sprinkling the BBQ rub seasoning over the chicken to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers and salt. Toss to coat in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers and onions are softened and starting to char, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the onions and peppers are cooking, make the crema: Whisk together the crema, chipotle, adobo sauce and garlic salt. Set aside.
  • Prepare the sizzle sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, lime juice, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
  • Remove the peppers and onions to a bowl and set aside. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the chicken. Sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Add the peppers and onions back to the skillet with the chicken. Toss to combine and cook until the vegetables are sizzling, about another minute. Add the sizzle sauce to the hot skillet, over the chicken and vegetables. Using tongs, toss to completely coat. Cook until the sauce starts to caramelize and the chicken is cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • To serve: Heat the tortillas on a griddle pan lightly greased with avocado oil until warm. Stack in a tortilla warmer or wrap in foil or a clean kitchen towel as they are done.
  • Build the fajitas by placing the chicken topped with peppers and onions in the center of each tortilla. Squeeze some lime juice over the filling and season with salt. Top with the avocado, crema and cilantro. Serve.
