Cooking Method

Fajitas are a fun, casual meal. They're great for a crowd, just increase the amounts.
 
If you run out of room on the grill, place items, as they are cooked, on a large platter and keep warm in an oven. Each person can individualize and roll their own fajitas.
 

  • Lightly rub grill with oil, preheat barbecue for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
     
  • Combine cumin, chilli powder, salt, pepper and cayenne.
     
  • Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and rub mixture into both sides. Start grilling peppers, zucchini and onion over medium heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. As vegetables are cooked, remove to upper grill rack (or a 200 degrees F/100 degrees C oven) to keep warm.
     
  • Grill chicken over medium heat, turning often until juices run clear when meat is pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
     
  • Heat tortillas on upper rack of barbecue or microwave until warm.
     
  • To serve, slice chicken and vegetables into strips, place on heated plates.
     
  • Serve with tortillas and garnishes. Fill tortillas, roll up and garnish as you wish.
