In a bowl, combine the beef and chicken with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.

While the meat and vegetables are heating, warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
