Notes

Preheat your Blackstone griddle properly to ensure even cooking and good searing.

Use your favorite toppings.

The cooked chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The fajita seasoning makes more than is needed for this recipe. Store the rest in an airtight container with a lid like a small glass jar for up to a year.
