Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: A handful fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas (use gluten-free corn tortillas if needed)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and toss until evenly coated. Let it sit while you prep the veggies.
- Slice bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Toss them lightly with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
- Spread the marinated chicken evenly on the griddle. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to sear, then flip and cook until juices run clear, about 7-10 minutes total.
- Push the chicken to one side of the griddle and add the peppers and onions. Stir occasionally and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened but still slightly crunchy with caramelized edges.
- Mix chicken and veggies together on the griddle for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors. Warm tortillas wrapped in foil on a cooler part of the griddle or in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer chicken and peppers to a platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with warm tortillas.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the griddle to ensure proper searing. Marinate chicken for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor. Use tongs to turn chicken to avoid tearing. Warm tortillas on the griddle edge wrapped in foil. Adjust heat to avoid burning chicken before cooking through.
