Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Fajita
Ingredients
- Fajita Sauce
- 500g of your choice of protein (chicken strips, thinly sliced beef, or mixed bell peppers and onions for a veggie option)
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Tortillas
- Optional garnishes: sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa
Instructions
- Marinate Your Protein: In a bowl, combine your chosen protein with 3 tablespoons of Fajita Sauce. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for even more flavor).
- Cook the Protein: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated protein and cook until well-browned and cooked through (about 5-8 minutes for chicken or beef, 3-5 minutes for vegetables).
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more Fajita Sauce and toss in the bell peppers and onion. Sauté until they are just tender but still have a bit of crunch.
- Assemble Your Fajitas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a spoonful of the cooked protein and vegetables onto each tortilla. Top with your preferred garnishes.
- Serve: Roll up the tortillas and serve hot, with extra Fajita Sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Variations to Try
- Chicken Fajitas: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor.
- Beef Fajitas: Opt for flank steak or skirt steak for tenderness and taste.
- Vegetarian Fajitas: A mix of bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini makes for a hearty veggie option.
