  • Smoked Chicken Fajitas

    My wife said we had too much smoked meat saved up so I figured I could make something yummy with some smoked chicken I did a couple weeks ago and froze in vacuum bags.

    <a href="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/HK91-762/media/Fajitas10132013_zps2c4a5a7a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a549/HK91-762/Fajitas10132013_zps2c4a5a7a.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo Fajitas10132013_zps2c4a5a7a.jpg"/></a>

    I brined the chicken for about 4 hours, then rinsed and put a chipotle rub I got from Butcher and Packer, I let the rubbed chicken sit for about 20 minutes while came up to room temp from the fridge. I smoked for about 3 hours using maple pellets.

    Yesterday morning we went to the farmers market and I picked up a green, red, and purple bell peppers. I used a purple onion and a yellow onion and several cut up cherry tomatoes and jalapenos from my mini-garden. After cutting up the veggies, I added some home smoked salt, some garlic, and some oil and let it sit for an hour or so.

    I then fired up my outdoor griddle and cooked the veggies for a few minutes before adding the already cooked chicken. I put the flour tortillas on the griddle to warm them up a bit.

    For even more smoke, we used some grated smoked Munster cheese.

    I think the smoked chicken fajitas were better than any restaurant fajitas I have had in a long time.

    Sounds and looks good! Most meals made at home are much better than eating out...

        I like the griddle, I think it is 32 or 36 inches wide, lots of room to get ham or bacon, potatoes, eggs, and even pancakes all at once so everything can come off hot at once.

        I also typically used smoked salt when cooking on the griddle, can't seem to get enough smoke.

            Eating out can be convenient, but home cooked is always better. I could dive into those fajitas, that's for sure!
