Fajita Veggies

Tortillas and Cheese

Sauce

Garnish (optional)

Method

Prepare the Protein

  1. 1

    Cook the Carne Asada

    Season the carne asada with salt and pepper. Grill on medium-high heat for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Let it rest, then slice thinly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken or Shrimp

    If using chicken, season with salt, pepper, and fajita seasoning. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through. For shrimp, season and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque.

Prepare the Fajita Veggies

  1. 3

    Sauté the Veggies

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sprinkle with fajita seasoning and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender.

Assemble the Burrito

  1. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Lay a tortilla flat. Add a generous portion of your choice of protein (carne asada, chicken, or shrimp), sautéed veggies, and a handful of shredded cheese.

  2. 5

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Repeat for all tortillas.

Serve

  1. 6

    Top with Enchilada Sauce

    Place the burritos on a serving plate. Drizzle enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.

  2. 7

    Add Garnishes

    Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro on the side.
