Ingredients

For the Fajitas

For the Chimichangas

Preparation

Preparing the Fajitas

1. Marinate the Meat

In a bowl, combine the flank steak or chicken breast with olive oil and fajita seasoning. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Grill the Vegetables

Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced vegetables and grill until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Cook the Meat

In the same grill pan, add the marinated meat over medium-high heat. Grill the meat for about 5-7 minutes per side (for steak) or 6-8 minutes (for chicken), until cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Assembling the Chimichangas

4. Fill the Tortillas

Lay out each flour tortilla on a flat surface. In the center of each tortilla, place a portion of grilled meat, grilled vegetables, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

5. Fold and Roll

Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring that the filling is securely wrapped inside.

6. Fry the Chimichangas

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully place the rolled chimichangas seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

7. Plate and Garnish

Place the fried chimichangas on a serving plate. Serve with sour cream and your choice of sauce on the side.
