Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels. Prepare the chicken by slicing it into thin strips. Slice the bell peppers and onion.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Shrimp

    Take each shrimp and stuff it with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and a slice of jalapeño. Wrap each stuffed shrimp with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with fajita seasoning and olive oil until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp and Chicken

    Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are opaque. At the same time, grill the seasoned chicken strips along with the sliced bell peppers and onions until fully cooked and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for a minute. Fill each tortilla with grilled chicken, bacon-wrapped shrimp, grilled vegetables, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
