Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Proteins

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder. Divide the marinade into three separate bowls. Add the premium steak to one, the grilled chicken to another, and the shrimp to the last bowl. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the proteins are marinating, slice the onions, poblano peppers, and zucchini into thin strips.

  3. 3

    Grill the Proteins

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side until desired doneness is reached, grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, and grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions, poblano peppers, and zucchini until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Assemble the fajitas by placing a portion of the grilled proteins, sautéed vegetables, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and crema on each tortilla. Roll up and enjoy!
