Fajitas Ingredients

Method

Fajitas Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the chicken breast, beef sirloin, and bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin wedges.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Protein

    In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, beef, or shrimp with 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Protein

    In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken, beef, or shrimp. Cook for about 5-7 minutes for chicken and beef, or 3-5 minutes for shrimp, until cooked through and slightly charred. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for chicken and beef.

  5. 5

    Combine and Heat Tortillas

    Add the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet with the cooked protein. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fajitas hot with warm tortillas. Allow guests to assemble their fajitas as desired.
