Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 3 medium bell peppers (1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow), sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked, to taste
  • 8–10 flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado slices, salsa

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the chicken breasts or thighs into 1/2 inch strips. Slice the bell peppers and yellow onion into similar-sized strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a marinade.
  3. Toss the sliced chicken strips in the marinade, coating evenly. Let sit for at least 5 minutes while preheating the griddle.
  4. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Wait until the surface shimmers.
  5. Spread the sliced bell peppers and onions on the griddle. Drizzle lightly with olive oil if needed. Stir occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender with some charred edges.
  6. Push the cooked peppers and onions to one side of the griddle.
  7. Spread the marinated chicken strips in a single layer on the hot griddle. Let sear without moving for 2-3 minutes, then flip and stir occasionally until cooked through and no longer pink inside (internal temperature 165°F), about 7-8 minutes.
  8. Mix the chicken with the peppers and onions on the griddle and cook together for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
  9. Warm the tortillas on the cooler side of the griddle or in a dry skillet until pliable and slightly toasted.
  10. Serve the chicken and peppers on warm tortillas with desired toppings immediately.

Notes

If chicken dries out, add a splash of water or chicken broth to the griddle and cover briefly to steam and tenderize. Use fresh lime juice at the end to brighten flavors. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to maintain a good sear. Marinate chicken at least 5 minutes for flavor, longer if possible.
