Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Add the fajita beef or chicken, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Grill the Vegetables

Slice the onion and bell peppers. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced vegetables and grill until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Cook the Meat

In the same skillet or grill, cook the marinated fajita beef or chicken for about 5-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

4. Assemble the Tacos

Warm the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave. Fill each tortilla with sliced meat, grilled onions, and peppers. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and a generous scoop of guacamole.

5. Serve

Serve the tacos al carbon immediately with extra guacamole and toppings on the side.
