Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Proteins

    In a bowl, combine shrimp, chorizo, fajita steak, and chicken breast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grilled Onions

    Slice onions and grill them until they are caramelized and tender. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Proteins

    In a large skillet or a molcajete over medium-high heat, cook the marinated shrimp, chorizo, fajita steak, and chicken breast until fully cooked. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the proteins are cooked, add the grilled onions to the skillet and mix well to combine all flavors. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Queso Fresco

    Crumble queso fresco over the top of the mixture and allow it to melt slightly before serving.
