Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken or Steak

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken or steak and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken or steak for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, briefly heat the flour tortillas until they are warm and slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Fajita Ensalada

    On each tortilla, layer the shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced onions, sliced bell peppers, and sliced chicken or steak. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and Pico de Gallo.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fold the tortilla over the filling and serve immediately while warm.
