Fajita Mixta Ingredients

Method

Fajita Mixta Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and beef to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Meat

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side for the chicken and 8-10 minutes for the steak, or until fully cooked. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Slice the grilled chicken and steak into strips. Serve the meat and sautéed vegetables on warm flour tortillas, and top with sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese as desired.
