How to Make Fajitas We’ve shared fajitas on Inspired Taste before. Thanks to a garlic citrus marinade, these easy chicken fajitas are juicy and ultra-flavorful. Because of the quick cooking time, we’re okay with taking a bit of time to marinate the meat. We don’t use a wet marinade and instead use a simple spice rub. Our homemade chili powder inspired our fajita seasoning mix. In it, we mix ancho chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and smoked paprika.

It’s strong in flavor and works beautifully with chicken, steak, and even shrimp. By adding the salt 30 minutes before cooking, it has a chance to improve the flavor and texture of the meat. As a result, the steak tastes terrific, and it’s extra tender. We use the same seasoning for the chicken, which turns into a flavorful crust after cooking. The same goes for the shrimp. Merely dust the shrimp with fajita seasoning before cooking. When it comes to cooking, start with chicken.

For the juiciest chicken, we use our go-to method for cooking chicken breast. Brown one side of the chicken in a pan, flip it, turn the heat down to low, and cover with a lid. Cooking the chicken over low heat with the lid helps to keep the chicken moist and tender inside. We do this for juicy pork chops, too!
