Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
Kosher salt
3 scallions, sliced
Juice of 1 lime
For Serving: Warm tortillas
Suggested toppings: Chopped cilantro, guacamole, sliced pickled jalapenos, lime wedges, shredded pepper jack cheese, salsa, chopped scallions, sour cream

Steps:

  • Mix together the paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the chicken in a container with the oil and lime juice, then rub with the spice mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours before cooking.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the butter, cumin, corn kernels, poblano and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the corn is light brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the scallions and lime juice and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the chicken breasts until marked and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 10 minutes and then thinly slice.
  • Serve with the warm tortillas, corn and mushroom topping, chopped cilantro, guacamole, sliced pickled jalapenos, lime wedges, shredded pepper jack cheese, salsa, chopped scallions and sour cream.

These fajitas were okay. The chicken was a bit dry, but the veggies were good. I would recommend using a different marinade for the chicken next time.

The chicken in these fajitas was a bit overcooked, but the veggies were good. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.
