Method

Preparing the Protein

1

Marinate the Meat

In a bowl, combine the beef and chicken with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.

2

Cook the Meat

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and chicken, cooking for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into strips.

Preparing the Vegetables

3

Slice the Vegetables

While the meat is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic.

4

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet used for the meat, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions along with the minced garlic for about 5-7 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

Assembling the Fajitas

5

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked meat back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6

Warm the Tortillas

While the meat and vegetables are heating, warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
