Image From foodnetwork.com

1/2 cup lime juice, from about 6 limes
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the griddle
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons chipotle chile powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, each cut in half parallel to the cutting board then sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips 1 skirt steak (about 1 1/4 pounds), sliced against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
2 white onions, thinly sliced
2 orange bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and slice
2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced
2 poblano peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced
2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded (optional) and sliced into rounds
20 fajita-size flour tortillas
Lime wedges, cilantro leaves, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese for serving

Whisk together the lime juice, oil, garlic, chile powder, oregano, cumin and 3 tablespoons salt in a medium bowl. Combine all the onions and peppers in a large bowl. Put the chicken, steak and shrimp in 3 individual bowls and evenly divide the marinade between the vegetables and proteins (about 3 tablespoons each). Toss each to coat and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Set all 4 burners to high on a 36-inch Blackstone® Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes.

Spread a tablespoon of oil on the griddle and add the onions and peppers in a single layer. Cook, tossing with a large metal spatula occasionally, until starting to soften and brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Push the pepper mixture to one half of the griddle then add the chicken in a single layer to the empty half of the griddle; cook until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and push closer to the peppers. Add the steak in a single layer and cook until browned on one side and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the chicken on top of the peppers and flip the steak so it is closer to the peppers. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until browned on one side and the steak is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss everything together and spread in a single layer. The shrimp will continue to cook through. Cook, tossing occasionally until the peppers are soft and everything is well combined, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large serving platter.

Scrape the griddle clean with your spatula and cook the tortillas until hot and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

Serve the fajitas immediately with lime wedges, cilantro leaves, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese.
