First off sorry for the crappy pictures and lack there of.

Bought my camp chef flat top a couple weeks ago and have been using it like crazy. Decided to try my hand at fajitas on it.

Cut all the meat up and made the marinade the night before so it would have time to soak up some of this goodness. Big shout out to chilerelleno chilerelleno for the fajita marinade. If you guys haven't tried it it is amazing and I highly recommend!

Sirloin strip steak and chicken breasts cut up and ready to go along with some peppers and onions.

Heated the flat top up. Still don't have a hard cover so its in the garage.

Now I did this a little differently. I wanted everything to kind of cook to a different doneness so I did them all separately. The right side of the griddle was off and still above 250 so started with the peppers and onions.

Beautiful evening in East Tennessee

Threw the chicken on first

I wanted the steak to still have some red to it so put it on last

Took half the steak/chicken and threw it back on with the peppers and onions for just a minute(kids don't like peppers/onions) and forgot to get a picture

Toasted up some corn tortillas

Whipped up two kinds of homemade salsa(mild and burn your ass off hot) and pulled those out

Got some refried beans, cotija cheese, and Mexican rice. Managed to get a picture of one of the kids plates which doesn't do it justice.

Holy crap these were good. I know the pictures suck and you cant really tell but I have never had fajitas this good. So much better than using the cheapo seasoning packets or the crap meat you get from the Mexican restaurants. Try out Chili's marinade if you haven't. My garage still smells like fajitas. Plan to do again in the near future and will get better pics of the whole process. Thanks for looking!

Hell Yeah, that looks so damned good.
I'd eat at least six of those tacos, rice and beans too, please.
You're killing it with the new griddle.
Keep it coming, I wanna see the cheese steaks.
Like!

Glad you tried and liked my fajita marinade.

Thanks Chile. That marinade is seriously on point I have already passed it along to a couple of my buddies.

I am hoping to do the cheesesteaks again here within a couple days ill post em up for sure!
 
Looks super delicious John, I’ll take a few and a Miller to wash it all down.

Love doing Fajitas, might have to check to see if there’s a skirt steak in the freezer!

Thanks Joe. I used sirloin strips grocery had on sale for $3.99 lb. Flank steak was $7.99 lb smh. Don't see skirt too much around here. Beer, Salsa, and Fajitas is hard to beat! Gonna try this weekend with some seafood though

Thanks Chris. What Mexican are you planning on tacos, fajitas, enchiladas? If you want fajitas throw a big CI on one of your kettles and let it rip. Make sure you got plenty of cold ones for the process though or its just not the same!
 
Looks great . It's hard to say how the flat top makes things taste so good , but it does .

I'm going for Mexican this weekend and hope I can come close to this dish.
If you're having rice , try Chile's rice recipe . It's fantastic .

Nice work Vol , keep it coming .
