  • Aurora Long Sweet Peppers – These sweet peppers from Pure Flavor® are perfect for grilling, have the best slightly sweet flavor, and are the prettiest bright colors!
  • Chicken breasts – Cut into long strips, making it perfect for adding to a tortilla.
  • Olive oil – For coating the chicken with spices and cooking the chicken and onion.
  • Chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano – The usual taco seasoning suspects!
  • Cayenne and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper – With ½ a teaspoon of cayenne and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper, the chicken has a kick that’s the perfect heat!
  • Lime juice – also helps the spices coat the chicken and adds brightness and zest.

Tips for Making These Spicy Chicken Fajitas with Grilled Peppers

  • While it may seem like a high quantity of spices, they ensure that the chicken will be perfectly seasoned and blackened, so don’t be shy!
  • I recommend using the Aurora Long Sweet Peppers as they have the perfect flavor to pair with the chicken, and the long strips work great in the fajitas.
  • For this recipe, I like to slice the onion thinly, but not as thin as I would for other recipes, as I think the bite from the onion is perfect in the fajita!

We love using the Aurora Long Sweet Peppers in these fajitas because of their sweetness, and the long strips are perfect with the chicken and onions!  If you want a less spicy dish you can easily leave out the cayenne pepper.  We recommend using a cast iron skillet for searing the chicken at a high heat so that the spices blacken and the chicken gets a perfect char!
