Cooking for people

Ingredients

beef fajitas
chicken thighs
sausage
shrimp
Roma tomatoes
onion
corn and flour tortillas
salt, pepper and garlic for seasoning

1 Food Prep

Season one side of all proteins with your favorite rub. We’re using salt, pepper and garlic.

While the seasoning sets, light up your grill.

While the fire sets, return to protein, season the other side.

The fire should be set and ready now.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Charcoal, 2–3 chimneys

Method: Two-Zone Method

Temp: 500°F

Two-Zone Method The two-zone method will allow for flexible control over the grill to ensure even cooking and that all meats are ready simultaneously.

3 The Cook

Apply shrimp, sausage and veggies indirect to the fire for a slower cooking process. Rotate as needed to develop color and doneness until they reach a safe temperature.
Drop the fajita and chicken thighs on to direct heat.
Flip fajita and chicken every two minutes encourage even cooking and doneness until they reach food safe temperature.
Plate and serve all ingredients on a single, family-style platter.
Serve alongside your favorite sides like rice, beans, guacamole, salsas and tortillas.

The Flippity-Flip Method Use the “flippity-flip” method for even cooking all around the meat and for maximum moisture retention. The flippity flip method is essentially just constantly flipping the proteins in intermittent time to ensure all meats are ready at the same time.
