DIRECTIONS

Equipment note: we suggest using heavy duty aluminum foil for this recipe.


  1. Heat grill over high flames for 5 minutes. 
  2. Prepare 4 16-inch lengths of foil. Place 1/3 cup green pepper slices, 1/3 cup red pepper slices, and ¼ cup onion slices in the middle of each length of foil and toss together. Spray with avocado oil.
  3. In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together chili powder, salt, dried oregano, garlic powder, cumin, and sweetener until evenly distributed. Sprinkle a generous pinch over the vegetables in each foil packet.
  4. Cut chicken thighs into ¼-inch slices. Arrange 6-ounces sliced chicken on top of the vegetables in each packet and evenly sprinkle with remaining seasoning, about ½ tablespoon for each packet. Top each with a teaspoon of butter. Fold the foil and seal into packets.
  5. Cook packets, vegetable side down, over high flame for 12 minutes. Flip packets and continue cooking over high flame for 14-18 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Warm tortillas over the grill briefly and serve each hot fajita packet with two tortillas. Top each packet of fajitas with ½-ounce shredded cheese, ¼ of the avocado, 1 tablespoon sour cream, ½ tablespoon cilantro leaves and a small lime wedge. One packet as described is one serving.

Cooking Tip

Cooking time for this recipe really depends on how hot the grill or fire is. Note that it might take longer to fully cook over a lower flame or heat. You can also make this in the oven, cooking packets on a baking sheet at 400°F for roughly the same time.
