Taco Filling

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken/Beef

    In a bowl, combine the chicken or beef with olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Meat

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken or beef for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced tomato and cook for an additional minute.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds until pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of grilled chicken or beef on each tortilla, followed by the sautéed vegetables.

  3. 7

    Add Rice and Beans

    On the side, serve a scoop of cooked rice and black beans.

  4. 8

    Garnish

    Top with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
