Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Marinate Protein (Optional)

    If using chicken or beef, place the sliced protein in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook Protein

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated protein (if using) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

  3. 6

    Combine

    Return the cooked protein (if using) to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Serving

    Warm tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the sizzling fajitas on a hot platter, alongside warm tortillas and bowls of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for dipping.
