Preparing for a Backyard BBQ Show: Fajita Bar & More!

[chefjill]

I have a show in September and my host wants to do a BBQ party in her backyard. I was thinking about doing a fajita bar, grilling the meat then using the knives to cut up the onions/lettuce, have salsa, etc. How would incorporate the cookware?
Also, if you have a recipe that you think is better, please let me know. I've never done a BBQ show so I'm open to any & all suggestions.

Thanks so much!!!

How about using a sauce pan to warm up your fajita or barbeque sauce?

One idea to incorporate the cookware into the fajita bar is to use a cast iron skillet on the grill to cook the meat and vegetables. You can also have a separate skillet for heating up tortillas. This will add a fun and interactive element to the party as guests can help cook their own fajitas. As for a recipe, here is one for grilled chicken fajitas that you can try:Ingredients:- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts- 1 red bell pepper, sliced- 1 green bell pepper, sliced- 1 yellow onion, sliced- 1 tablespoon olive oil- 1 teaspoon chili powder- 1 teaspoon cumin- 1 teaspoon garlic powder- Salt and pepper, to taste- Tortillas- Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheeseInstructions:1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.3. Add the chicken breasts to a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.4. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onions with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through.6. While the chicken is cooking, add the peppers and onions to a cast iron skillet on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are slightly softened.7. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.8. Warm up the tortillas on the grill, using a separate cast iron skillet if desired.9. Assemble your fajitas by placing the sliced chicken, peppers, and onions on a tortilla. Add any desired toppings and roll up the tortilla.10. Serve and enjoy your delicious grilled chicken fajitas!
