Grilled Chicken & Shrimp Fajitas

Updated: Apr 1

It's better when you're getting colorful foods and this checks that box tenfold. Chicken, peppers, onion. All of these grilled and roasted for that feel good warmth feeling. It's a weeknight favorite.



Ingredients:

  • 3 limes

  • 1 tsp. ground coriander

  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin

  • Pinch of cayenne

  • 4 tbsp. olive oil, divided

  • 1 lb. large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails discarded

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-in. pieces

  • 1 lb. mixed-color peppers, cut into 1-in. pieces

  • 3 jalapeños, sliced 1/2 in. thick

  • 2 small red onions, cut into 1-in.-thick wedges

  • Kosher salt and pepper

  • 12 small flour tortillas

  • Sour cream, sliced radishes and chopped cilantro, for serving



Instructions:


Finely grate the zest of 1 lime into a bowl. Add coriander, cumin, cayenne and 2 tablespoons oil and mix to combine. Transfer half to a medium bowl and toss with shrimp. In a second bowl, toss chicken with remaining mixture.


Thread each protein onto its own skewer. Halve all limes.

Toss peppers, jalapeños and onions with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Thread jalapeños, peppers and onions onto their own skewers.


Heat grill to medium-high. Season chicken and shrimp skewers with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.


Add skewers to grill and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (8 to 10 minutes), vegetables are just tender (4 to 8 minutes) and shrimp is opaque throughout (3 to 4 minutes). Transfer skewers to platter as they finish cooking. Grill limes, cut sides down, and tortillas until lightly charred, about 1 minute.

Squeeze 1 grilled lime half over chicken and shrimp. Serve with vegetables, tortillas, remaining limes, sour cream, radishes and cilantro.
