Give your chicken some wood-fired sizzle and kick with this recipe! We love our fajitas with a hint of hickory smoke, but you can go with more or less, depending on your preferences. We also like that restaurant-style sizzle! Here’s how to make them at home on your Traeger or pellet grill…
Ingredients:
- 2 Large Chicken Breasts
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 1 White Onion
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1-2 Tablespoons Backdraft Rub by Code 3 Spices (or pre-made fajita mix)
- 8 Small Flour Tortillas
Optional for EXTRA Kick:
- 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes
- 1 Jalapeno diced
Toppings:
- Sour Cream
- Shredded Mexican Cheese
- Cilantro
- Hot Sauce
Directions:
- Start Traeger or Pellet Grill on Smoke. Turn up to 450F when fire established.
- Pre-heat a cast iron skillet on your grill for 10-15 minutes until smokin’ hot.
- Using a chef’s knife or utility knife, slice chicken breasts into cubes or strips.
- Slice green peppers and onions; dice jalapeño if using for extra heat.
