Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken and Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breast and shrimp, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a mesquite grill, ensure the mesquite wood is ready.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken breast on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Skewer the shrimp (if desired) and grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    Grill the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them for about 5-6 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Serve with grilled shrimp and vegetables on warm tortillas. Add any additional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa as desired.
