Griddled Fajitas with a side of Street Corn

People are always asking me for easy, weeknight meal ideas. Cooking fajitas using marinated meat from local Mexican meat markets plus an easy side of street corn is one of the fastest, tastiest meals I can make my family. If you do not have access to a Mexican meat market you can create you own marinade.
We can never agree on beef or chicken, so we make both in this recipe. Specifically on the chicken, I prefer thighs because of the flavor ad juiciness. In this recipe we griddle the fajitas, which can also be achieved by cooking in a cast iron skillet. Alternatively you can also directly grill this recipe.

Pro tip! With the Cacique crema, don’t peel the seal off. Just stab a hole right in the middle (I use a chop stick) and use it like a squirt bottle! Keep up the great work!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Great tip! I'm trying that.

[@1969TxCowboy1]

Those HEB tortillas are heaven!

[@ftworthtexan9082]

You ain't lying!!! Best tortillas I've ever had and all I use when we need tortillas.

[@juliestockton8079]

I love your videos, Matt! Thanks so much!

[@saltycrow]

Lovin the super easy sides you’re sharing. Thanks so much👍🏼☺️

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

You are so welcome!

[@scottkeasler9317]

Loving the wrap up after the videos. You've been doing this maybe the longest but continue to bring it with new ideas. Haven't had a Meatchurch product that I didn't enjoy, love them all and happy to support you guys. #stilltheking

[@jwardTLS]

Thank you - my Flatrock is finally arriving in a week and I've been eagerly watching your griddle videos for cooking ideas. Very excited. I love Meat Church seasonings as well - always keep a stock of garlic/herb, holy cow, gospel, etc.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Fantastic. Enjoy that!

[@justindemott4990]

This is what I miss about working in Texas. Mexican meat markets are awesome!

[@michaelholliday6037]

Literally just finished making fajitas and decided to watch your channel as I sat down to eat! You gotta love fajitas. I did skirt steak marinated in mojo on the green egg.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Sounds great!

[@jamesblair5971]

I love the pre-marinated fajitas from my local Mexican meat market so good. Congratulations cook them regularly. Love the street corn recipe I will be making this one.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks James!

[@Momtocam1997]

Will look here in my area for a store that might sell the pre-marinated fajitas. Looks delicious.

[@crushingbelial]

I am feeling this recipe. Gonna make it next week for out of town guests. Thanks!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Have fun!

[@BlackJacket705]

Thanks for producing great videos of things I'd actually want to, and will make for myself

[@delbert9357]

Love it Bro gonna try it this weekend. I have almost all your seasonings and will never again go back to any other they are truly unbelievable !! Everyone in my family loves them. Just did pulled pork for Thanksgiving like you did with Ole Boy Honey Hog and Honey Hog hot and the fat separator. Everyone loved it and the Meat Mitch sauce. My man keep it up please!! Thanks Matt!!

[@joshmurphy4754]

Thanks Matt love your videos. Been on a keto diet and loving your non sugary recipes lately. I cooked the Mexican pulled pork and your Texas ribs this past weekend and they were wonderful. Your fajita seasoning is the best I’ve ever had look forward to trying this out.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love it. BTW, I know everyone reacts different on Keto, but even when I use my rubs with sugar when I did keto, it didn't affect me. The sugar cooks down so I guess that helps. Cheers!

[@letsdomoregood]

Great new video! Thanks!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

You bet!

[@tommyvtexantrogden2682]

You really don't talk about the Lemon Pepper Seasoning enough, its REALLY good ! My kids can't get enough of it on seafood

[@SirPartyRoc]

Fajitas on a griddle is such a quick meal and fan favorite. Love the Fajita seasoning. I use it on a lot of dishes. The elote side is delicious. I thought you were going to sprinkle some on the taco :)

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I love it!

[@jbeletti]

Loved this and it's so timely. I don't have a cast iron flat top but I do have a stainless steel Little Griddle that fits on my large gas grill and we've been wanting Fajitas so with your guidance, it's time to try it. And I need to get over to your store. I'm out in Weatherford so not too far.

[@TheSantoslaguna11]

Looks delicious 🤤

Anything over med-rare for beef is a crime! You are correct, sir. This recipe looks killer... going to have to try it at home!

Every time you say, "Mrs Meat Church likes this but im doing the video so im doing this" I keep expecting to see her pop out of nowhere.

She is way better looking than me but doesn't like to be on camera. I'll see if I can talk her into it.

The end was great! I was totally watching and thinking that about the spatula. Then I told myself that you have forgotten more about cooking than I’ll ever know so shut the hell up! 🤣😂🤣 Love the videos!

Great videos have learned alot what cooler would you recomend for resting meat

Can’t beat those HEB tortillas! My mom freezes and brings them when she visits us in NC.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Man they are so good. Especially the butter tortillas.

[@thefrozenphotog6780]

Must be nice to have a couple Mexican grocery stores around you... lol. Looks FANTASTIC!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Spoiled for sure

[@westtexasconstruction]

Michoacana is good but here in Lubbock we have Amigos United Supermarket and they have Fajita norteña and tablitas (cross cut ribs) norteña, and they are amzing!!!

[@paul756uk2]

A bit off topic but what makes me somewhat proud as a UK citizen, is that all you good barbecuing people seem to use the thermapen which is a small UK company based not far from where I live on the south coast. I got one with my Traeger (a great US product)!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Nice!

[@lionelhernandez34]

H.E.B. also has "mi tienda" branded tortillas in refrigerated section. Their raw just as good as the freshly made ones there, beans and pre-seasoned fajitas as well. Hard to beat Mexican grocers pre-sesoned though.

[@MW95TX]

Pro tip: Instead of using butter, throw some diced up bacon on the griddle. Once the bacon is almost done throw the corn on. Mix together.

[@jamesconn1104]

Thank Ya Sir !! Looks delish !!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks!

[@jamesconn1104]

@@MeatChurchBBQ YW Sir !!

[@michaelrodriguez9672]

As always, excellent recipe vid!!! Grew up with my moms/grandmas homemade tortillas and eventually to my chagrin became a tortilla snob, but honestly...as far as store bought or even authentic restaurants, it's so difficult to beat the value and deliciousness of HEB homemade tortillas! And that combo of crema, butter and cotija cheese on the elote is 🔥🔥 P.S. I went to a Powerlifting competition in Frisco a couple weeks back, traveling from Bandera, TX and to my surprise your store was relatively so close to the highway. Unfortunately due to the long day trip and start time of the meet, I didn't have time to stop and was so bummed! Had I known I would have left even earlier! Will have to make a time for another trip up there. We go through your seasonings like crazy! Thankfully Tractor Supply sells a good few, maybe one day HEB? 👀We still make online orders though! Reminds me to do one right now 😂need voodo and holy gospel 🙌

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks so much for taking the time to give this feedback Michael. Come by some day. Thanks for being here!

[@michaellebu4312]

Love All your videos Pastor. Must do an AL Pastor video

[@lynngoodwin3223]

I have watched a ton of your videos. I am on a Carnivore diet, and you teach me how to cook Carnivore. I spend ALL my carb count on spices.

[@VillanuevaMedia]

Orange Juice and some Fajita seasoning is the easiest marinade possible. Looks good 😂

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Oh yes!

[@gamezguy71]

Hey Matt, I freaking love these videos so much. I am going to move to an apartment for the first time in my life, could you make a video on BBQing in limited spaces like an apartment? What equipment one would need and things like that. I have a patio but I know I won't have much space for a big Traeger, even though a Traegar is what I'd love. But I will have some room at least outside.

[@NordicAdvRider]

What an awesome recipe. Looks super delicious. I hope you one day come back to Holy Smoke BBQ in Sweden. I would definitely join your masterclass then

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I am talking to Johan about that!

[@NordicAdvRider]

@@MeatChurchBBQ That’s great news 👍

[@martinflores7354]

Michocana. The best. Props to u bro. Get the avocado salsa.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Martin!

[@edmoring6058]

The spatula with the holes, what is that designed to do? And do you recommend using this style to griddle with? Luv the recipe s

[@jasonhollinger9513]

Man...I really need to get a griddle! I've been out of work for 3 months and I haven't been able to get one. Can't wait for when I can. Also man, you keep doing you! Haters gonna hate! I love it when people can't use common sense. I really hope people would know that you wouldn't use the same spatula for everything. Good grief. But anyways, fajitas is my wife's favorite meal and she prefers thighs, just like me, so we will go that route. She can't have corn, but the rest of us can, so we are good to go there. Loving the griddle series and when I get one, it will be viewed on the regular! Good stuff man. With me being out of work, I've looked forward to these midweek videos and I've gone back through some others over time as well. You've inspired a few new ideas for me and my family.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I really appreciate the feedback Jason. Good luck to you sir. Stay in touch and thanks for being here! -Matt

[@brad_neal]

Thanks, bro. Doing these tonight! Also, I see a really nice Blaze griddle in the background - why do you never use that in any of you vids? That's the same one I have, but I thought I was the only person on the planet that had one. All I ever see is Blackstone-style with the cast iron top.

[@seths4795]

Love the content Matt and the product even more. But why can’t I find the meato bandio hat anywhere on the site ?! 🤣🤣

[@g54b95]

This looks fabulous! I remember as a kid going to a Mexican restaurant and ordering the fajitas, you felt like a boss! You could hear it sizzling as they brought them out from the kitchen in that screaming hot cast iron pan. I don't have a flat top, but I am going to buy a cast iron griddle for my Traeger so I can do this at home. Thanks for all you do.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

That sizzle may be the first thing I remember about moving to Texas. I should have said that in the video!

[@innocentrage1]

I miss the all you could eat fajitas at don pablos

[@billwilliams4281]

Tasty lookin' stuff, but how does the Flatrock compare to the Loco Griddle?

[@josephwhitehead1692]

You ain't lying about the HEB tortillas! I live in Florida but my SIL lives in Helotes and whenever the in-laws head out there, we always ask them to bring us back some HEB tortillas and Julio's tortilla chips.

That is awesome. Gotta love HEB.

Do they normally use crema in elotes in Texas? Up here in Chicago it's mainly mayo, parkay, and cotija with chili powder. Still looks great either way!

[@joyfulinhope1210]

Question: Can I smoke a pre-cooked roast? We don’t have time to smoke the whole thing before Easter dinner, so I thought I’d cook it the day before and then throw it in the smoker on Sunday to give it some flavor.

How would you compare the Flatrock to the LoCo?

[@bwinchester4108]

I have done my raw chicken and deer together for years now. #stillalive 😂

[@joem4551]

No doubt the marinated meat is good, but many times you can ask them to make it "preparada" and they have a lime juice style marinate that is pretty bomb too, gotta cook within a few hours though from picking up. I make my own carne asada marinade w/ lime juice, orange juice, sliced onions, cilantro and a bit of worstershire sauce. Tenderizes the meat and comes out very tasty!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Will have to try that.

[@genesnodgrass]

I just need a bucket of the street corn and I’m good.
