This California Summer Blackstone Griddle Feast captures the essence of sunny outdoor cooking: vibrant, colorful, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
On one side of the griddle, spread the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.
On the other side, drizzle remaining olive oil and add zucchini, bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and corn. Sauté, flipping occasionally, until veggies are tender and slightly charred (about 7-8 minutes).
Warm tortillas on the edge of the griddle for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.
Once everything is cooked, squeeze lime juice over the veggies and chicken. Toss with chopped cilantro.
To serve, layer chicken and veggies on tortillas, top with avocado slices and cotija cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
