Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the chicken or beef into strips. Chop the bell peppers and onion into thin slices.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced meat and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice and Beans

    Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Heat the black beans in a small pot until warmed through.

  4. 4

    Grill the Veggies

    In a grill pan or on an outdoor grill, cook the sliced bell peppers and onion until they are tender and have grill marks, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Grill the Meat

    Remove the marinated meat from the bowl and grill until fully cooked, about 5-8 minutes depending on the thickness.

  6. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    Warm the tortillas on a skillet or grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Fajitas

    On each tortilla, layer the grilled meat, veggies, rice, black beans, shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the fajitas hot with extra guacamole and sour cream on the side.
