Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep your protein
Steak strips or diced chicken: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
Shrimp: Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Start cooking your protein
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes for shrimp; 2 to 4 minutes for jumbo shrimp, steak, or plant-based chicken; and 3 to 5 minutes for chicken. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While your protein is cooking, prepare the vegetables.
3
Prep the vegetables
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; thinly slice the pepper.
4
Cook the vegetables; finish your protein
In the same pan used for your protein, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the fajita spice blend and your protein and any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and your protein is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the vegetables and your protein are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Prep the remaining ingredients
