Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Proteins

    Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. If using shrimp, ensure they are peeled and deveined.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

Marinating

  1. 3

    Marinate the Proteins

    In a bowl, combine the chicken or shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or grill pan, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 5

    Cook the Proteins

    Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken or shrimp and cook until fully cooked through, about 5-8 minutes for chicken and 3-5 minutes for shrimp. Ensure they are nicely browned.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Fajitas

    Serve sizzling hot on a platter with the sautéed vegetables and the cooked proteins. Accompany with warm tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese on the side.
