Grilled chicken fajitas are one of my favorite, go to, family dinner recipes!
It’s easy to put together and make a large batch of. This recipe is perfect for a dinner of 4 or a dinner of 2 with perfect leftovers!
The chicken marinade is pretty simple. If you’ve seen some of my other Mexican recipes, you’ll see that my chicken marinade is pretty similar. It’s what I think is the best all purpose chicken seasoning.
You can grill your choice of bell peppers, all one color or a mix of them. Red onions are the best for grilling onions. They are a little sweet, a little crunchy, and develop an awesome flavor.
This is a super basic and simple pico recipe that only requires four recipes. If you want, you can hit it with a squeeze of lime!
If you want, you can use regular sour cream. But I never have it at home and I always have yogurt on hand. I wanted to make a healthier alternative. So it’s just yogurt, salt, and lemon or lime juice.
Try to get the best quality, restaurant style flour tortillas. Heat them up on a pan to get the warm and pliable.
Top your grilled chicken fajitas with grilled veggies, pico de gallo, salsa, mexican cheese, sour cream, avocado, and salsa. All of the above or some of the above!
