Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 onion
½ pound skirt, flank, or sirloin steak
½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 Roma tomatoes
½ pound medium shrimp
8 tortillas

Marinade

½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar, loosely packed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup sour cream
1 cup lettuce, shredded
½ cup salsa
½ cup homemade guacamole, or purchased equivalent
⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Slice 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, and 1 onion. Chop 2 Roma tomatoes.
Slice ½ pound skirt, flank, or sirloin steak and ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-size strips. Peel ½ pound medium shrimp.
Combine marinade ingredients (½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons olive oil) and marinate beef and chicken for one hour.
Remove the chicken and beef from the marinade and drain well. Discard the marinade.
Sauté beef, chicken, peppers, and onion in a large skillet in 2 tablespoons oil.
Near the end of cooking time when meat is almost done, add the shrimp and tomatoes and cook until the shrimp is cooked through.
Serve cooked meat and vegetables with 8 tortillas and toppings (1 cup cheddar cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 1 cup lettuce, ½ cup salsa, ½ cup homemade guacamole, and ⅓ cup fresh cilantro). Each person assembles their own fajitas by putting meat/vegetable mixture in tortillas and topping with their choice of condiments, rolling up the tortilla, and eating by hand.

Notes

Feel free to switch this up and serve any combination of meat that you prefer.

Whether or not to devein shrimp is a personal preference and is not necessary for food safety reasons. Most frozen shrimp is already deveined.

If you prefer, you can cook the meat and vegetables on the grill to avoid heating up the kitchen. I like to toss the meat and vegetables with the oil before cooking, and cook them in a preheated grill on a clean vegetable grate prepared with non-stick spray.
