Fajitas Ingredients

Method

Fajitas Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    If using steak, shrimp, or chicken, cut into strips. Season with taco seasoning and lime juice. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    In the same skillet, add the marinated meat. Cook until fully cooked through (about 5-8 minutes for chicken or shrimp, longer for steak depending on preferred doneness).

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked vegetables back into the skillet with the meat. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Serve the fajita mixture with tortillas, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, and guacamole on the side.
