Method

Prepare the Fillings

Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken breast with taco seasoning and grill or sauté in a pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat until cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Let it rest and then slice into strips.

Cook the Steak

Season the steak with taco seasoning and grill or sauté in a pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat until desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare). Let it rest and then slice into strips.

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pan, add the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Sauté in remaining olive oil for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the Tortillas

Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

Build the Tacos

On each tortilla, add a portion of either chicken or steak or vegetables. Top with salsa gringa, diced avocado, and shredded cheese.

Prepare the Side Dishes

Cook the Mexican Rice

Prepare Mexican rice according to package instructions, typically by cooking with water or broth and adding spices for flavor.

Heat the Refried Beans

Heat refried beans in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
