Chad's BBQ Fajitas

My husband, Chad, made up this recipe and whipped these up last night. They were INSANE! Hands down, best fajitas I've ever had! And they are so incredibly simple and easy to make.

We didn't use cheese or sour cream because we're a semi-vegan household. These would be delicious with veggies alone, but Chad added shrimp & shallots for himself this time.

3 T olive oil
2 T vegetable oil
2 T cumin
2 T Cajun seasoning
salt & pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
juice of 3 juicy limes
portabella mushrooms
green bell pepper
one small onion
3 roma tomatoes
1/2 pound shrimp
1/2 pound scallops
tortillas (your fave...we make ours with flour, water, oil, & tortilla press)
cilantro
avocado
chipotle salsa (we used Sunflower Market's, and it's delicious!)

Mix first 7 ingredients together and pour over diced veggies & seafood (or meat) in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature to marinate for about an hour. Then grill until done! Veggies should be nicely charred and caramelized. Wrap in tortilla and top with avocado, salsa, & cilantro. YUM!!!

*we used one of those veggie basket thingies to grill the veggies and shrimp in.

  1. Do you have like an indoor grill plate to grill the veggies on? Or a outdoor grill basket? Sounds divine!!
