Flashback Friday: Grilled Chicken Fajitas from Flame to Table

June 28, 2019 By Morgan

In honor of our Saturday Morning spot on WCCO June 29th, check out this Flashback Friday Fajitas recipe!

The thing I like to make most often in my Flameware Grill Basket is chicken fajitas. It’s like you’re at the local Mexican restaurant with all the smells and sizzling sounds right at home. And a added bonus is that you don’t have to drive after a margarita!

It’s this easy:

Cut up chicken into strips the size of your index finger
Cup up onions and peppers to be size of index or pinky finger
Toss in oil and fajita spices (we use Penzey’s Fajita seasoning)
Put all of it into your grill basket (use cookie sheet to prevent dripping) and place on grill over medium-high heat for 20 minutes (stir once at 10 minute marker).
The chicken will be moist and fully cooked, the peppers will be soft, and the onions will caramelized. Using a hot pad, transfer grill basket to cookie sheet and bring in to serve hot, sizzling, fajitas right at your dinner table.

Mother’s Day

May 1, 2019 By Eric Lofdahl

Mother’s Day is next Sunday. You probably have an idea of what you want to get for your mom or have bought it already, but maybe you are still looking for a unique gift to impress her this year. We’ve got that covered here at the Clay Coyote. Our wide variety of handmade art, both from our own potters and the featured artists we carry in the gallery, has something for everyone.

If your mother is a home chef, consider picking up a piece from our Chef’s Line of flameware pottery. Full of unique, versatile pieces there is sure to be an item that will fill a gap in your mom’s kitchen or upgrade a piece of cookware she already has. Each piece of flameware can be used on the stove, whether it’s an electric, gas, or glass top stove, as well as in the oven or on the grill. My personal favorites are the Clay Coyote Flameware Cazuela, the Clay Coyote Dutch Oven, and the Clay Coyote Tagine. The Cazuela features deep sides, a short handle, and a tab on the front to make it easy to move the pan between stovetop and oven. It will become the workhorse of your mom’s kitchen in no time. The Dutch Oven holds about three quarts, and is made entirely of Clay Coyote Flameware. Our Tagine, on the other hand, features a flameware bottom and a stoneware top that is available in four colors. The Tagine is a true statement piece. We have cookbooks that pair great with both the Dutch Oven and Tagine and will give your mom some inspiration for delicious new recipes.

Maybe your mom is more of a baker than a chef. Lucky for you, we have great baking dish options here as well. The Clay Coyote Bread Baker and the Clay Coyote Baking Dish are a covered and open baking dish option from our potters. We also have numerous baking dishes from our featured artists such as the Campbell Pottery Pie Plate and the Sunset Canyon Pottery Lasagna Baking Dish.

Jewelry always makes a great gift, and we have plenty of that in the gallery as well. Some new jewelry has come in over the past few weeks, so if your mom is a fan of Clay Coyote but hasn’t been out to the gallery recently, you can surprise her with something she hasn’t seen before. Spirit Glassworks and joeyfivecents are a couple of the exciting new artists we have in the gallery. Or maybe you know she has had her eye on a specific piece from an artist we have featured for a while such as Desert Heart Jewelry or Ten2Midnight Studios.

joeyfivecents necklackes and leather wrap bracelets

Spirit Glassworks matching necklace and earrings

Whatever you decide on it is sure to a be a quality piece of handcrafted art. I could go on for pages highlighting the unique pieces we carry in the gallery. Instead, I’ll encourage you to come out to the gallery to see the pieces in person. I have already picked out something for my mother, but I can’t tell you what it is because she reads this blog. I gift wrapped it here, and I’ll be happy to do the same for the gift you pick out.

Not in Minnesota? If you order from our online shop, you can leave a note for us to gift wrap and include a personal message with your gift. Happy shopping!
