Why I Love Chicken on the Blackstone
To be honest, I don’t cook chicken enough. Basically I feel that it is always tough or rubbery or something just isn’t right. Even if it is all natural, yada yada. But I will tell you, chicken on the Blackstone is a different story. It is one of my favorite ways to cook chicken. It is always tender, juicy, and flavorful.
These Crunchy Queso Chicken Tacos are one of my go-to easy weeknight dinner ideas. All you need is 5 ingredients, yep you read that right. Of course you can customize them with extra toppings or peppers/onions. But we like these just the way there are. And my kids like them , too- bonus points. If you want to call them quesadillas, you can do that, too.
Ingredients Needed for these Blackstone Chicken Tacos
- Chicken Breasts– I used boneless chicken breasts, but chicken thighs or tenders work, too.
- Salsa– I like to marinate the chicken in salsa for extra flavor & moisture.
- Cheese– Heating up some cheese on the outside of the tortillas just adds a little fun and a crunchy texture. TRUST ME, DO IT!
- Tortillas– I had medium flour tortillas and this made 6, you can use smaller taco size and get about 8 tacos.
- Queso Con Salsa– Just the cheap jarred stuff works, it’s a staple in our house. Nacho cheese should work, too.

How to make these Queso Chicken Tacos on the Blackstone
Step 1: Prepare the chicken
Cut off any unwanted parts of your chicken breasts, and cut into 1 inch pieces. Place in a bowl and add in the salsa. Give it a stir and let marinate until you’re ready to cook (even just a few minutes is fine, the salsa makes a nice sauce for the chicken).
Step 2: Cook the chicken
Once the flat top if heated up over medium heat. Add on the chicken. Let cook until you can cut the chicken in half with the spatula and no longer pink.
Step 3: Encrust the cheese on the tortilla
Over low heat- add some shredded cheese directly to the Blackstone and add the tortillas on top.
Step 4: Assemble tacos
Add a spoonful of queso to the tortillas, then the chicken, and then more shredded cheese. Fold and let the cheese melt for a minute or so. Pull off and serve with more queso, salsa, sour cream, or toppings of choice.
