I love mexican food. So does my family, thankfully. We sure do eat a lot of it. Fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, salsa, rice… the list goes on. Oh, and fried ice cream! Yum. We especially love these Grilled Chicken Fajitas!
I’m constantly experimenting with new ways to make our favorite mexican dishes; but still, I just can’t top this one. Everytime I throw this chicken on the grill the aroma is so intoxicating. I often wonder if the neighbors are jealous.

To make Fajitas:
-
Slice bell peppers and sweet onion. Place into a foil grill pan. Toss with olive oil, a few shakes of cumin and oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pre-heat grill. Place veggies and chicken on the grill. Stir vegetables occasionally. Grill until veggies are soft and have some char on them. Grill chicken, flipping only once until cooked through to 165°. Remove chicken and veggies. Slice chicken, toss with vegetables, and serve on warm corn tortillas.
