Fajitas Recipe

Fajitas Directions

1. 1

   Marinade the Meat

   In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken or beef strips to the bowl, mix well to coat, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the Vegetables

   While the meat is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. In a large skillet or grill pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   Grill the Meat

   In the same skillet or grill pan, add the marinated meat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked through, stirring occasionally. Ensure the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for chicken or 145°F (63°C) for beef.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Once the meat is cooked, return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet. Mix everything together and heat for an additional minute. Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Serve the fajitas with lime wedges and optional cilantro.
