Grilled Chicken & Sweet Pepper Fajitas
Report
These fajitas feature more vegetables and less meat, perfect summer eating. I loaded mine with smokey grilled peppers and onions, lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and just a sprinkling of cheese.

Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic pulverized to a paste
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 dash chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 sweet peppers red, yellow or both
- 1 medium red onion peeled
- 4 whole wheat flour tortillas
Garnishes of choice

Instructions
- Mix together garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl or plastic container.
- Add cumin, paprika, chili powder and salt. Mix to combine.
- Add in chicken pieces and turn a few times with a fork to coat them thoroughly. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24.
- Preheat grill to 400F. Position a vegetable grill basket or pan partially over direct heat and pre-heat the pan.
- Halve the peppers and remove the core. Cut into 1/2-inch wide slices. Half and core the onion. Slice into 1/2-inch sections. Toss both onion and peppers with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place chicken on the grill over direct heat. Add the onions and the peppers to the grill pan. Cook both over direct heat for 10 minutes. Toss the vegetables frequently.
- Move both chicken and vegetables to indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Place the chicken on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Toss flour tortillas quickly on the grill, about 10 seconds per side, then wrap in a clean towel to keep warm.
- Slice chicken into strips and serve with the grilled vegetables, toasted tortillas, and additional toppings of choice.
