Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
   • Add the sliced steak or chicken to the marinade, tossing to coat.
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
2. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:
   • Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Fajitas:
   • Drizzle the vegetable oil onto the preheated griddle.
   • Add the marinated steak or chicken to one side of the griddle and the sliced bell peppers and onion to the other side.
   • Cook the steak or chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred.
   • Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
   • Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Once cooked, combine the steak or chicken with the sautéed vegetables on the griddle.
   • Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
   • Remove from the griddle and transfer to a serving platter.
5. Assemble the Fajitas:
   • Warm the flour tortillas on the griddle for about 30 seconds on each side.
   • Fill each tortilla with the fajita mixture.
   • Top with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Tips

• Marinating Time: Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, but longer if possible, for more flavor.
• Cooking: Ensure the griddle is preheated to get a good sear on the meat and veggies.
• Serving: Serve the fajitas immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Enjoy your delicious Blackstone Fajitas!
