Method

Marinating the Protein

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp with the remaining marinade and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 6

    Grill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from grill.

  4. 7

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the chicken and shrimp are grilling, toss the sliced bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 8

    Assemble the Fajitas

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the fajitas warm and enjoy!
