Fajita Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. If using chicken breast, cut it into thin strips as well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Protein

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, fajita seasoning, and salt. Add the protein strips and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Protein

    In the same skillet or grill, add the marinated protein. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Fill each tortilla with the grilled vegetables and protein. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top and garnish with cilantro if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fajitas with additional lime wedges and any other desired toppings.
