How to Make Best Chicken Or Steak Fajitas Ever
- In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients (see below).
- Add chicken or steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer for maximum flavor).
- While the meat marinates, prepare the pico de gallo: Combine all pico ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to high. Add the marinated chicken or steak. Sear for 2 minutes per side for a delicious crust.
- Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking until the chicken or steak is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F for chicken, 145°F for steak).
- Remove the meat from the skillet, slice thinly against the grain, and return it to the pan to combine with the cooked vegetables.
- Warm tortillas according to package directions.
- Fill tortillas with the cooked meat and vegetable mixture, top generously with pico de gallo, and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
