Ingredients

  • ½ lb chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • ½ lb beef sirloin or flank, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • ½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or mixed), sliced into 1/4-inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder)
  • 1 whole lime

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add chicken and beef. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes until bottom edges brown. Stir and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add shrimp to the same skillet. Sear 90 seconds per side until opaque. Transfer to the plate with the chicken and beef.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Return all cooked protein to the skillet. Sprinkle fajita seasoning over top and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Squeeze lime juice over the fajita mix. Serve hot with warm tortillas, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
