How To Make chicken fajitas

  • 1
    marinate the meat 24 hours before cooking
  • 2
    Grill low and slow careful not to burn the meat. We like to grill with Oak Wood and we use used cooking grease for "firing up" the wood/charcoal in the beginning. We do not use any chemicals to start our fire.
  • 3
    Maintain a constant temp around 300/325 degrees. I usually have the meat on top of foil off to the side for 30-45 minutes and then place each piece over the coals to brown for a few minutes. Browning the meat is essential in creating the flavor of grilled chicken.
  • 4
    Once the chicken is done bring inside and let it set for 10-15 minutes to rest before slicing.
  • 5
    At this point we have Guacamole, cheese, sour cream, stir fried veggies ( bell peppers, onions, garlic) and Jalapenos for toppings. The sky is the limit!
  • 6
    Assemble on top of soft hot tortillas and enjoy.
