Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons chile powder
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken, cut into ¼ inch strips

Instructions

1. Combine the avocado oil, lime juice, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a mason jar or blender.

2. Shake or blend until well mixed.

3. Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard.

5. Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.

6. Brush with avocado oil.

7. Add the onions and peppers to one side of the griddle and the chicken to the other.

8. Cook for about 6 to 9 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly charred.

9. Remove from the heat.

10. Heat the tortillas until warmed through, about 1 minute.

11. Serve the meat and veggies with the warm tortillas and desired toppings.


Notes

Leftovers may be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Customize toppings with guacamole, hot sauce, or pico de gallo.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.

Use a grill pan or large skillet if you don’t have a Blackstone griddle.
