Over the past week I spent some time at Le Creuset. I was able to do a cooking demonstration using their new grill pan. It’s a 9.75 inch cast iron grill pan with raised sides. I’ll tell you more about it. But I was able to cook chicken fajitas for Cinco De Mayo. Here is the recipe below.
Ingredients:
1-2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 pack of chicken tenderloins
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion, halved and sliced
1 lime
1 avocado
1 pack of flour tortillas
- Brush oil all over the cast iron skillet and turn the heat to about medium.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning on both sides of the chicken, but be sure to leave half for the veggies.
- Put chicken on the grill. Allow the chicken to cook fully. Once there are grill marks on 1 side then flip over to the other.
- When the chicken is fully cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Oil the pan again and place the peppers and onions on the grill.
- Season the veggies with the rest of the taco seasoning.
- Cook until wilted and charred.
- Place chicken back on the grill to rewarm.
- Place both chicken and veggies on a plate.
- Take 1 tortilla at a time and warm them on the grill.
- Put 2-3 chicken tenderloins in a tortilla and top with peppers, onions, and slices of avocado, and squeeze a little lime juice on the meat.
- Sit down and enjoy!
After I made the chicken fajitas, the employees chowed down… and they loved it. I have to say their new grill pan was a dream to work with. I liked it a lot. Just make sure to use a silicone brush and brush on the oil. You don’t want to heat up the grill pan dry. I loved the fact that I was able to get some nice grill marks on the meat and veggies without having to be outside.
If you are in the market for a grill pan, check out Le Creuset.com or go to your nearest outlet where you might be able to find a few steals.
