Chicken & Shrimp Fajitas! (Pic Heavy)
PASmoke
Posts: 279
OK....So, I now need a vessel to deliver my fresh New Mexico Hatch Chili Salsa (see previous post)....So, Mrs. PASmoke and I decided on Fajitas.
Very Straightforward: I just placed a bunch of miniature red & orange sweet peppers and two, large Green peppers on the BGE until they were charred/blistering.....then, I cut the top (stem) from the miniature peppers and split them in 1/2 - I cut the top from the larger Green Peppers, removed the seeds, sliced them into 6/8 pieces and placed them all in a serving dish along with a pan sautéed onion .
I dusted chicken breast & peeled, deveined shrimp with chili powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Then, I tossed the shrimp in a bit of olive oil....I should have done the same to the chicken just for the sake of color after the cook....and placed them on the BGE until done.
I sliced the chicken thin and served everything with Guacamole, Sour Cream, warm tortillas and - of course - my roasted green chili salsa.
No wine pairing this time.....This needed a Margarita to cut the serious kick of the salsa.
Peppers Washed & Ready:

@BilZol - Thanks! Yes, it is the BGE CI grate. I bought it about a month a go and - honestly - haven't noticed a huge difference from my original GBE grate. One could argue that it puts larger, nicer looking grill marks on food.....which is true....but it's also harder to clean and MUCH harder to get on & off because the grill gripper can't grasp it and it doesn't have the same gap at the side to use an oven mitt to get it out. I hope your fajitas come out great!Atlanta, GA - Large BGE x 2

@Hub - it's there....under the chicken because I think it melts better that way. I actually used a good bit but it is hard to see.Atlanta, GA - Large BGE x 2
