Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 pounds chicken breast strips
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
One 14-ounce bag frozen peppers and onions blend, defrosted
Zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces pilsner beer
Warm flour tortillas
Sliced avocado
Lime wedges
Fresh cilantro leaves
Salsa verde and rojo
Chopped fresh tomato
Shredded cheese blend

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a large resealable plastic bag, add the chicken, olive oil, lime juice, chile powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Seal, squish around a bit to mix and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • For the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the peppers and onions blend and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, toss together and set aside.
  • On a large, seasoned cast-iron griddle on medium-high heat, add the chicken right from the marinade and spread it out so it doesn't steam; you may have to cook it in batches. Cook until the chicken is light golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Once a batch is finished, try to pile it on a cool area of the griddle until you finish the rest or pile in a bowl. Once done with the chicken, cook the veggies the same way.
  • Pile the chicken and veggies back onto the griddle and gently spritz and sprinkle just enough beer to allow the griddle to steam a bit while tossing the chicken and veggies together just to warm through. Drink the rest of the beer. Serve with the fixins: tortillas, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, salsa, chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.

Tips:

  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids helps tenderize it and infuse it with delicious flavors. For best results, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the steak and fajita vegetables. Make sure your skillet is preheated over medium-high heat before adding the steak and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Overcrowding the skillet will prevent the steak and vegetables from cooking evenly. Cook the steak and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season the steak and vegetables: Season the steak and vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness: The cooking time for the steak will vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your desired doneness. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak, or 5-6 minutes per side for a medium-well steak.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
  • Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings: Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and Pico de Gallo.

Sizzling fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure your fajitas are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give sizzling fajitas a try!
