Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meats

    In separate bowls, marinate the beef flank steak, chicken breast, and shrimp in lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef and Chicken Fajitas

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the marinated beef and chicken until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes for each. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary and cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Carnitas

    Slow-cook the pork shoulder with onion, garlic, orange juice, and spices for about 6 hours until tender. Shred the meat and crisp it in a skillet.

  5. 5

    Cook the Beef Ribs

    Season the beef ribs with salt and pepper, then grill or bake them at 300°F for 3-4 hours until tender.

  6. 6

    Make Rellenitos

    Boil the plantains until soft. Mash them and form into small patties. Fill with refried beans, then fry until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Assemble and Serve

    On a large platter, arrange the beef and chicken fajitas, shrimp, carnitas, beef ribs, and rellenitos. Serve with tortillas and your choice of toppings.
