Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 pound Flank steak or sirloin steak
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Taco-sized flour tortillas
• 0 Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast and flank steak into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 2-3 inches long, cutting against the grain for tenderness.

Step 2

Core and thinly slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into strips. Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken and beef strips in separate bowls. Divide the marinade in half and pour one portion over the chicken and the other over the beef. Toss each to coat fully, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Once hot, add the chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

Add the beef strips to the same skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until medium-rare or your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

Add another drizzle of olive oil to the skillet if necessary. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized. Return the cooked chicken and beef to the skillet, combine with the vegetables, and heat everything through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 9

Serve the chicken, beef, and vegetable mixture alongside the warm tortillas, allowing everyone to assemble their own fajitas. Offer optional toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, and chopped cilantro for customization.
