These Blackstone Fajita Bowls are my twist on classic fajitas, but instead of tortillas and flank steak, ground beef, bell peppers and onions are piled high over rice for a hearty, flavorful, and family-friendly meal.

Btw- don’t have a Blackstone? No worries, this works great on a griddle or pan on the stovetop.

It’s quick, budget-friendly, and perfect for weeknights when you want bold flavors without a lot of fuss!

Ground Beef Blackstone Fajita Bowls

Cooking the rice right on the Blackstone gives it a toasty finish and brings that signature griddle flavor into the whole dish.

Once you top it with fresh green onion, a squeeze of lime, or maybe a spoonful of guac — you’ve got a fajita bowl that’s even better than takeout.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

Make this yummy seasoning, or buy fajita seasoning (sometimes we don’t have time and I’m not judging!- either way, it will taste great). Just make sure you get about 3 Tbsp of seasoning.

Chili powder
Smoked paprika
Ground cumin
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Dried oregano
Salt
Black pepper
Cayenne (optional, for heat)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Oil
Heat your Blackstone or griddle to medium-high and drizzle with oil.

Step 2: Cook the Veggies
Add bell peppers and onions to one side of the griddle. Cook until softened and charred, about 5–7 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with fajita seasoning.

Step 3: Brown the Beef
On the other side, cook ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through. Drain grease if needed. Sprinkle with the remaining fajita seasoning and stir well.

Step 4: Toast the Rice
Spread the cooked rice on a clean section of the griddle. Drizzle with oil and stir occasionally until warmed and slightly crispy. For extra flavor, mix in chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Step 5: Combine & Build
Mix the beef and veggies together on the griddle. Spoon rice into bowls, top with the fajita mixture, and finish with your favorite toppings.
