Ingredients
- 1 pound Steak (flank/skirt) or chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 Bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 8 Tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1 serving Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the steak or chicken in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour (optional but recommended for enhanced flavor).
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using steak, cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or adjust time to your desired doneness). If using chicken, cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Step 4
Remove the cooked steak or chicken from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add a little oil if needed and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion over medium-high heat for 4-6 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still vibrant.
Step 6
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, in the oven, or in the microwave.
Step 7
Assemble the fajitas by placing the steak or chicken slices and sautéed vegetables onto the tortillas. Add optional toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your sizzling fajitas!
