Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meats

    Season the chicken breast and char-grilled steak with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the onion, green bell pepper, and tomato into strips. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice and Beans

    Prepare the Mexican rice and pinto beans according to package instructions or your preferred recipe.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken and Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Grill the char-grilled steak for about 4-5 minutes per side (or to desired doneness).

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, add a little oil and heat over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers, sautéing until they are tender. Add the sliced tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Serve the Fajita Nortena

    On a sizzling platter, layer the sautéed onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Slice the grilled chicken and steak, and place them on top of the vegetables. Serve with warm flour tortillas, Mexican rice, pinto beans, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream.
