Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 medium onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 green bell pepper, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
1 red bell pepper, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
3 tablespoons fajita seasoning (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice from 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
Eight 6-inch flour tortillas
Cooked rice, for serving
Shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack, fresh cilantro, sour cream, salsa, sliced avocado and hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Tear off four 12-by-18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Toss the chicken with the onion and bell peppers in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the fajita seasoning, oil, adobo sauce, cumin and lime juice in a separate small bowl. Pour over the chicken mixture and toss gently with tongs to coat evenly.
  • Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the 4 sheets of foil. Bring up two short sides to meet and fold over a few times to close tightly, then fold the remaining sides in and up to seal the packet completely. Repeat with the remaining foil packets.
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the packets on in a single layer and return to the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have softened slightly, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and microwaving until warm, about 40 seconds. Serve the fajitas with the tortillas, rice and toppings of your choice.

1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika (, plus more for adding color to the chicken breasts before cooking if desired)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 yellow bell pepper (, seeded and sliced)
1 green bell pepper (, seeded and sliced)
1 white onion
1 15 ounce can black beans (, rinsed and drained)
lime and jalapeño for garnish (, if desired)

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup lime juice (about 3 limes)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling
4 boneless chicken breast halves, skinned (about 2 pounds)
4 scallions, tops removed
1 yellow onion, quartered
1 green bell pepper, halved, seeded
1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded
Shredded Cheddar, for serving
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the lime, oil, garlic, salt and pepper until combined in a small bowl. Place the chicken in a 1-gallon plastic bag. Pour half of the lime mixture over the chicken; turn to coat. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
  • Arrange the scallions, onions, green peppers and red peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pour the remaining lime mixture over the vegetables; turn to coat.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the lime mixture and bring to room temperature. Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 7 minutes each side. Grill the vegetables until tender, turning frequently, about 10 minutes for the scallions and peppers and 15 minutes for the onions.
  • Transfer the chicken to a work surface and cover with aluminum foil. Set aside the chicken for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the onions and peppers and arrange them on a platter with the scallions. Slice the chicken crosswise into strips and transfer to the platter. Serve with the Cheddar and sour cream.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large bell peppers, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 large onion, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 bunch scallions, quartered crosswise
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds extra-large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
2 limes, halved
Twelve 6-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
Salsa and chopped avocado for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • Toss together the bell pepper, onion, scallions, oil, chile powder, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a very large bowl.
  • Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Spread the vegetable mixture on one piece of foil, leaving a few inches of exposed foil as a border. Arrange the shrimp on top of the vegetables in a single layer. Squeeze the limes over the mixture. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make a leak-proof packet.
  • Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Arrange the tortillas, overlapping slightly, on one piece of foil. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make another packet.
  • Put the shrimp packet on the grill, close the grill lid and cook 12 minutes (do not turn the packet over). The packet should puff up and look like a pillow. Slide from the grill onto a baking sheet using tongs. Set aside and let rest while you heat up the tortillas. Put the tortilla pack on the grill and cook until warm, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Carefully open the shrimp packet (hot steam will escape). The shrimp should be pink and cooked through and the onions and peppers just tender. Scatter the cilantro over the shrimp. Serve with the warm tortillas and salsa and avocado, if desired.
