Tequila & Lime Chicken Fajitas

Beginner
These Tequila & Lime Chicken Fajitas are tender and popping with Southwestern flavor. Marinating overnight in a sweet and smoky reposado tequila and tangy lime juice makes them intoxicatingly tasty. Wrapped in warm tortillas and sprinkled with salty Cotija cheese, we’re betting they’ll disappear as fast as you can make them.
This recipe was created by our partner, Jonathan Jones @jonathan.bbq, who made this dish on the Rider DLX 1200 Pellet Grill, but you can make it on your grill or griddle.
