Fajitas Marinade

Method

Marinating the Fillings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Proteins

    Add sliced chicken breast, steak, or shrimp (choose two) to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Fajitas

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Proteins

    Remove the proteins from the marinade and grill or sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked, turning occasionally. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet or grill, add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Assembling the Fajitas

  1. 6

    Combine Fillings

    Slice the cooked proteins into strips and toss them with the sautéed peppers and onions.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Sides

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Serve cooked rice, black refried beans, shredded lettuce, and sour cream on the side.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Place a generous amount of the fajita mixture on each tortilla, top with crumbled queso fresco, and enjoy!
