Fajita Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Thinly slice the steak and chicken breast against the grain. Chop the bell peppers and onion into strips.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine the sliced steak and chicken with olive oil, fajita seasoning, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the bell peppers and onion until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Meat

    In the same skillet, add the marinated steak and chicken. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked vegetables back into the skillet with the meat. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Serve hot with warm flour tortillas and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
