Fajitas Cancun Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the shrimp is marinating, slice the bell pepper and onion. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Shrimp and Vegetables

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and cooked through. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the grill and cook until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Once everything is cooked, remove from the grill and let it cool slightly. Serve the grilled shrimp and vegetables on warm tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa.
