1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbs olive oil

Method

Preparing the Protein

Marinate the Meat

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.

Cook the Meat

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and chicken, cooking for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into strips.

Preparing the Vegetables

Slice the Vegetables

While the meat is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet used for the meat, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions along with the minced garlic for about 5-7 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

Assembling the Fajitas

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked meat back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Warm the Tortillas

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

Serving

Serve the Fajitas

Serve the fajita mixture with warmed tortillas and sides of sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, cooked beans, and rice.
