Instructions

 

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
• Place the sliced chicken breasts or skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and allow it to heat up.
• Add the marinated chicken or skirt steak to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
• Slice the cooked chicken or skirt steak into thin strips and add it back to the skillet with the sautéed peppers and onions. Toss everything together to combine.
• Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over the flame of a gas stove for a few seconds on each side until they are pliable.
• To serve, spoon the fajita mixture onto the warm tortillas and garnish with your desired toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese. Roll up the tortillas tightly to form the fajitas.
