Ingredients For Blackstone Chicken Fajitas

Tips

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keep tortillas and cheese separate.

Freezer: You can freeze leftovers, in a freezer bag or airtight container, just know that the peppers and onions will likely be quite soft when you thaw and reheat. Freezing in individual portions makes for quick and easy lunches for work. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Reheat leftover chicken and veggies on the Blackstone until hot through. If you are reheating them inside, the stove top and microwave are great options.
