Directions
Step 1
Combine all the ingredients for the peach salsa in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
For the fajitas: Place a cast iron fajita skillet on the centre rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). This step is optional.
Step 3
Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
Step 4
On a large plate, coat the chicken with the oil and season with the chili powder. Lightly oil the bell peppers and onion slices. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Grill the chicken for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). At the same time, grill the bell peppers and onion until the vegetables are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the fajita skillet from the oven. Be careful when handling the cast iron skillet - it will be HOT. Use a kitchen towel or heat-resistant gloves when handling the cast-iron skillet. Remember, don’t put the hot cast-iron pan directly on your countertop or cutting boards. Use a trivet or set it on a baking tray. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to the hot skillet.
Step 6
Quickly grill the tortillas. Wrap in a clean dishcloth to keep warm.
Step 7
On a work surface, thinly slice the chicken and bell peppers. Return to the hot fajita skillet.
Step 8
Place the hot skillet, tortillas, peach salsa, avocado, cheese, and sour cream at the centre of the table. Let everyone garnish their own fajitas.
