Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast or beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 onion, sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 tbsp oil for cooking
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup guacamole

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, marinate the sliced chicken or beef with salt, pepper, and your favorite fajita seasoning for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat a large grill or non stick skillet over medium high heat.
  3. Add oil to the grill or skillet and cook the marinated meat until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for 3 4 minutes or until tender crisp. Add the cooked meat back into the pan and toss everything together.

  6. Assemble your sizzling fajitas: Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto each tortilla, followed by sour cream, cheese, guacamole, and a squeeze of lime juice. Fold the tortillas into half to create a perfect package.
  7. Serve immediately with a side of freshly made pico de gallo for an extra burst of flavor.
