For Serving:
Instructions
- Marinate the Meat: In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients: olive oil, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the meat (beef, chicken, or shrimp) and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Meat: In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated meat and cook until done to your preference (about 4-5 minutes per side for beef or chicken, or until shrimp are pink and opaque). Remove from heat and let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing (if using beef or chicken).
- Assemble the Fajitas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Serve the meat and vegetables on the tortillas, adding your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
