INGREDIENTS

    FOR THE CHICKEN
  • 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, sliced 1/4”-1/2” strips
  • 1/2 cup Sweetwater Spice Lime Jalapeno Fajita Bath
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Cattleman’s Grill Mexicano Seasoning

    • FOR THE VEGGIES
  • 2 cups onions (red, yellow and/or white), sliced 1/4”
  • 2 cups peppers (poblano, anaheim and/or bell), sliced 1/4”
  • Cattleman’s Grill Mexicano Seasoning

    • FOR THE TACOS
  • 1 tbsp Mangalista Pork Lard
  • 12 Street Taco Flour Tortillas
  • 12 lime wedges
  • Cilantro
  • Cotija or Queso Fresco crumbled cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Mix together the Sweetwater Spice Lime Jalapeno Fajita Bath, water, soy sauce, Colonial Chile Infused Oil and Cattleman’s Grill Mexicano Seasoning. Whisk well to combine.
  2. Place the sliced chicken in a Mini Briner Bucket and pour the marinade over the top. Marinate for about one hour, then remove the chicken from the marinade.
  3. Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 500ºF with the Yoder smokers Wood Fired Oven attachment installed.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the marinated chicken, sliced onions and peppers. Season modestly with Cattleman’s Grill Mexicano Seasoning and toss to coat.
  5. Place a Lodge 10.5” x 15.5” Cast Iron Bakeware pan inside the Wood Fired Oven for 5 minutes to preheat.
  6. Carefully pull the pan out of the oven. Place the tablespoon of lard on the griddle and more it around to coat the whole surface as it melts.
  7. Dump the fajita mixture onto the hot cast iron and spread out evenly to the edges of the pan.
  8. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn the pan and toss the chicken and veggies. Return to the grill and cook until the chicken and veggies are browned at the edges and the chicken temperature has surpassed 175ºF, about 5 minutes more.
  9. Lay wet paper towels in a half sized foil pan. Place parchment paper on top. Lay out the dozen tortillas on the parchment. Wrap the parchment and wet paper towels over the top of the tortillas, the place the pan on top of the wood fired oven to steam for about 3-5 minutes, with the grill door closed. This will soften and warm the tortillas. Remove from the grill.
  10. Divide the filling among the dozen small tortillas. Top each fajita with the crumbled cheese, cilantro and a wedge of lime.
