1
Prepare the Meat
If using chicken, pound the breast to an even thickness. Season both chicken or steak with salt and black pepper.
2
Cook the Meat
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken or steak and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side for chicken, or 4-5 minutes per side for steak, until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest.
3
Melt the Cheese
Top the cooked meat with shredded cheddar jack cheese, cover the skillet for a minute or until the cheese melts.
4
Assemble the 'Merican
On tortillas or buns, layer shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and the cheesy chicken or steak. Serve immediately.
