Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Marinate the Protein

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak or chicken breast, coating it well with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the protein is marinating, slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Protein

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the marinated protein from the refrigerator, and place it on the grill. Cook flank steak for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine the Ingredients

    Warm the blue corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer some sliced grilled protein, sautéed vegetables, black beans, cooked rice, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
