Fajitas, Shrimp, and Ribs

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meats

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef flank steak and chicken breast, coating well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Season the pork ribs with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the ribs for about 2 hours until tender.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fajitas

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell peppers until softened. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the marinated beef and chicken until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In another skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, then add the shrimp. Cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fajitas with tortillas, sautéed bell peppers and onions, and shrimp. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
