Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken/Beef

    If using chicken, slice the chicken breast into thin strips. If using beef, cut the beef into thin strips. Place in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Marinate the Protein

    Pour the marinade over the chicken or beef and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Protein

    In a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken or beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly browned.

  2. 6

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet with the protein. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

Serving

  1. 8

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Serve the sizzling chicken or beef mixture in the center of the warm tortillas. Allow guests to add optional toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.
