Method
Preparation of Marinade
Make the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to combine.
Marinating the Meat
Marinate the Chicken and Steak
Slice the chicken breast and skirt steak into thin strips. Add the meat to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Grilling the Vegetables
Prepare the Vegetables
While the meat is marinating, slice the onion and bell peppers into thin strips.
Grilling the Meat
Cook the Meat
Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator. Grill the chicken and steak over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Flip halfway through cooking.
Assembling the Fajitas
Combine Ingredients
Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the meat into bite-sized pieces if necessary. On a serving platter or individual plates, layer the grilled onions and bell peppers, then top with the grilled meat.
Serve with Tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute on each side. Serve the fajitas with warm tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side for dipping.
