Fajitas Recipe

Prepare the Marinade

In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Marinate the Chicken or Beef

Place the boneless chicken breasts or flank steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Grill the Protein

Remove the meat from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken or beef for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for chicken or 145°F (63°C) for beef. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Vegetables

While the meat is grilling, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Warm the Tortillas

Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them on the grill for the last few minutes of cooking, or warm them in a microwave for about 30 seconds until soft.

Serve the Fajitas

Slice the grilled chicken or beef into strips. Serve with warm tortillas, sautéed vegetables, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, and fresh cilantro. Let everyone assemble their own fajitas.
