Ingredients
Fajita meat & veggies
- 1 lb. chicken
- 1 lb. beef steak
- 2-3 red bell pepper stem and membranes removed and chopped into quarters
- 2-3 yellow bell pepper stem and membranes removed and chopped into quarters
- 1 onion sliced into 1/2-inch slices, large
Marinade
- 1/4 cup lime juice fresh
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 3 teaspoons vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1-2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Place the meat and vegetables in large, separate ziploc bags. In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and whisk well. Reserve 3-4 tablespoons of marinade for later, then using the remaining marinade, add a splash to the vegetables for a light coating, then add the remaining marinade to the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. When grill is hot, place everything on at the same time. Cook the meat for a few minutes on each side until cooked through (165°F for chicken and 135°F for medium-rare steak and 140°F for medium). Cook vegetables until crisp tender and slightly charred.
- Remove meat and vegetables from grill and slice into strips on a cutting board. Drizzle with the reserved marinade before serving with any of the following: flour tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, black beans, cilantro-lime or Spanish rice, and pico de gallo.
Notes
- If you don't have chipotle chili powder on hand, regular chili powder will work just fine! Recipe adapted from the Our Best Bites cookbook.
