Fajitas with Beef Steak and Chicken

by Editorial Staff

If you decide to cook something more interesting than just grilled meat during a grill party, fajita is perfect. This dish of Texas-Mexican cuisine is usually served by large companies. Grilled meat (in this case, two types – chicken breast and beef skirt steak) is cut into thin strips and put on the table along with fried vegetables and other toppings, for example, grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole – all on separate plates. Each guest collects fajitas for himself, laying out the fillings on the tortilla. Marinate the meat in lime juice with chili powder and other spices to get the great spicy flavor characteristic of Latin American cuisine.

Cook: 1 hour 15 minutes

Servings: 8
