Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice and fajita marinade.
  • Place the chicken in a storage bag or bowl and pour the marinade on top.
  • Let the chicken marinade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill over medium high heat. Clean the grill grates thoroughly and rub them with oil to keep the chicken and veggies from sticking to the grill.
  • While the grill is preheating, cut each of the peppers into quarters and remove the seeds and membranes and slice the onions into thick rings.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and gently shake off any excess marinade.
  • Place the chicken, peppers and onions on the grill. Grill for 15-20 minutes, flipping them all halfway through the cook time until the chicken is cooked through (reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the peppers and onions are browned).
  • Remove the chicken, peppers and onions from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Warm the tortillas on the grill for 1 minute per side while the chicken is resting.
  • Slice the chicken, peppers and onions. Serve over the warmed tortillas with your favorite fajita toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through before removing it from the grill.  
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
