Dutch Oven Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
Spice up your next outdoor meal with Dutch Oven Chicken Fajitas—a sizzling mix of marinated chicken, sweet peppers, and onions. Cooked over coals and served in warm tortillas, this one-pot meal is quick to prep and bursting with flavor. Add a dollop of sour cream or a scoop of guacamole, and you’ve got a fajita night that feels like a fiesta—wherever you are.
Cooking Steps
- 1Slice chicken into thin strips and place in a bowl or zip-top bag. Add the fajita marinade mix and just enough water to dissolve it and coat the meat. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- 2Heat a 12-inch Dutch oven over hot coals. Pour in the chicken and marinade. Cook, stirring frequently, until the marinade mostly evaporates and the chicken is slightly browned.
- 3Add the onion, peppers, and tomato to the Dutch oven. Stir to combine with the meat and cook uncovered, just until veggies are tender-crisp. Don’t overcook—fajita veggies should stay firm and colorful.
- 4Flip the Dutch oven lid upside down and place it over medium-heat coals. Warm the tortillas on the lid—either stacked and rotated or individually as you serve.
- 5Scoop the chicken and veggies onto a tortilla, top with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite toppings, and roll it up!
