If I'd ask my family to list their top 5 favorite foods, StoneGable Killer Fajitas would definitely be on the list... hands down!
And what makes these fajitas so special? Red Pepper Jelly. A little of this magical sweetness and a fresh squeeze of lime makes a sensational difference!
I usually grill my veggies and chicken, but they can sauteed. Just please don't boil your chicken! It is like sucking the flavor out of it. In a pinch I shred a rotisserie chicken... works perfectly!
I hope StoneGable Killer Fajitas become a favorite at your home too...
StoneGable Killer Fajitas
2-3 large onions
2-4 peppers, assorted colors
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
olive oil
salt and pepper
2-3 heaping TBS red pepper jelly
lime juice from 1 lime
flour tortillas
refried beans
2 cups GOOD cheddar cheese, grated
toppings and fixins'
Preheat grill.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel onions. Cut in half from end to end. Cut halves into half moons. Put a toothpick through the half BEFORE you slice it. Toothpicks should be through the half moons and hold the onions together. Continue until you have cut all onions.
Put onions on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush olive oil over both sides of the onions.
Grill on medium heat until charred (we like them well charred). Sprinkle with salt.
Remove toothpicks and set aside.
Cut peppers into quarters and pull out seeds. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill.
Grill until skin of pepper is blackened. Remove from the grill and peel off char. Slice into strips and set aside.
Place chicken on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Grill on medium high until done through. Remove from grill. Let sit for 10 minutes and slice on the diagonal.
If your grill is large enough, the veggies and chicken can be cooked at the same time.
While the veggies cook, Put a large can (or 2) of refried beans in an ovenproof bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Heat for 30 minutes in the oven.
Add the veggies and chicken to a large skillet. Heat over a medium heat. Add 2 or 3 HEAPING TBS of red pepper jelly. This pepper jelly is NOT hot. And don't use green pepper jelly. It looks horrid! If you use a hot jalapeno pepper jelly, adjust the amount according to how hot you like it... go easy!
When heated through, turn off heat and squeeze a lime over the mixture. OH, YUMMY!!!!!
To assemble fajitas, heat a flour tortilla (up to 3 at a time) between 2 wet paper towels in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Add a "stripe" of refried beans across the tortilla and top with chicken/ veggie mix.
Top with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Roll up and serve with other fixins'.
Fajita Fixins'
chopped tomatoes
salsa
sour cream
chopped cilantro or parsley
chopped green onions
chopped black olives
more refried beans
shredded cheddar cheese
Ohhh... These sound so good. I'm going to try them this weekend.

YUMM-O Yvonne...these look devine!! We are huge fajita fans here. Pepper jelly is a great addition. I haven't canned any this year...may have to fix that :)

I just sent Mr Merry for carryout. If I would have read your post first, I would have sent him to your house for fajitas. Yours look so yummy - my mouth is watering. Everything looks so delicious - those onions and peppers,mmmmmmmm Now where is my margarita?
ReplyDeleteOh Yvonne, these look so good. I grill everything also, and it all tastes so good. I havn't tried the red pepper jelly. I will have to. I do use a wonderful seasoning call Don Sasson. It is fantastic. Just sprinkle it liberally all over the chicken and then grill. Sensational. I also pound the chicken really thin before I grill. I will definitely have to try the jelly. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I just finished supper before I saw this! Super Yum!!
Cathy

ReplyDeleteYou lovely TEMPTRESS you! (And I mean that in the nicest way.) :D
ReplyDeleteThese look soo delicious, and a heck of a lot better than the left over baby back ribs that we're going to be having for dinner tonight!
Love the way you've captured the colors, light and textures of the ingredients and the finished dish. I would be very happy to be dining on your fajitas, anytime. Very, very nice! xo
Ole, these sound good! What a wonderful recipe, Yvonne. I love everything about Fajitas!
ReplyDeleteThose look so good! Your photography is always so amazing.

those look amazing....there is nothing better than grilled onions, in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteThose are probably the best looking fajitas I've ever seen! I can practically taste them just by looking at them.
ReplyDeleteThey look and sound so good. I should have never started opening all the posts about food. I was good - had a salad with low fat dressing and chicken for dinner, and now I am starved. :-D
ReplyDeletei love fajitas, but only your pics could make me love them more!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at the grilled onions! This all looks wonderful and I'm in love with your blog. I'll have to come back often to really explore it. Thanks for your visit to Buttermilk Cottage today!
ReplyDeleteSusan
This looks delicious. I can't wait to try it out. Looking forward to try the pepper jelly.
ReplyDeleteMost Friday nights we usually have pizza night with my parents and my sister and her husband...I'm growing a little weary of that and am thinking that this might be a nice, tasty change. Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteoh my...delicious! It's nine thirty at night... your killin' me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of putting pepper jelly on fajitas. I bet it tastes good. Joni
ReplyDeleteYvonne, every photo and every step of the way makes me hungry! I can see why this is a favorite in your house -- it would be one of my favorites too. Yum! Thanks for visiting my blog too!

Yvonne, your fajitas look amazing! Great tips and beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I love pepper jelly but only have used it in one way - on top of cream cheese. This would be KILLER! I know the family would love it. We are such fans of Tex Mex food.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Carla
ReplyDeleteYa got me with these fajitas!! YUMMY!! They look absolutely divine:)
ReplyDeleteYvonne, these look awesome. I can smell the grilled onions from here.
ReplyDeleteSending love...
I love Fajitas sooo much. Your pictures do really capture this recipe to where I can almost smell it. Thank you as always for sharing!

I love a great fajita, but generally opt for a fajita salad to lower the carbs. I am going to try to make a wonderful dressing with your ingredients. Beautiful shots as always. Thanks Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteWow, just looking at the pictures make me hungry. I am betting the food tasted even better than the pictures, I hope you enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI'm having people over for Mexican food next week so I am going to try the pepper jelly idea. Sounds like a tasty addition.
