Taco Filling

Method

Preparing the Filling

  1. 1

    Marinate the Protein

    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 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Protein

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

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Taco Shells

    Heat the soft taco shells in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until warm and pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of cooked rice and refried beans in each taco shell, followed by the grilled chicken or beef and sautéed vegetables.

  3. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Top each taco with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
