Protein

Marinade and Seasoning

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    If using chicken, slice it into strips. For steak, slice against the grain into strips. For vegetarian, skip this step.

  2. 2

    Make Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Protein

    Add the protein to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for better flavor).

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook Rice

    While the protein is marinating, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions.

  2. 5

    Cook Onions

    In a pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sliced onions and cook until translucent.

  3. 6

    Cook Bell Peppers

    Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and sauté until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. 7

    Cook Protein

    In the same pan, add the marinated protein and cook until fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes for chicken or steak. For vegetarian, cook any additional ingredients like mushrooms or zucchini in the same manner.

  5. 8

    Warm Tortillas

    Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm.

  6. 9

    Prepare Black Beans

    Heat the canned black beans in a small pot until warmed through.

Serving

  1. 10

    Assemble Fajitas

    To serve, place cooked rice, black beans, and protein in the center of each tortilla, topped with sautéed peppers and onions. Roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.

  2. 11

    Final Touch

    Serve with lime wedges and extra toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole if desired.
