Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Rub beef and chicken with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and fajita seasoning; cut into 1-inch strips. Set aside. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Warm refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Stir remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and lemon pepper into mashed avocados; set aside. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Heat corn oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cut tortillas in half, then cut in half again to make 4 triangular pieces per tortilla. Fry tortilla triangles in the hot oil in batches without overlapping until crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining tortilla triangles. Discard oil; wipe out skillet. (20 minutes)

06

Step

Return skillet to medium heat; stir in beef, chicken, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes, then stir in cilantro. (12 minutes)

07

Step

Layer tortilla triangles into a large baking dish; spread refried beans evenly over top. Sprinkle with cheese; evenly spread meat mixture on top. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese and beans are bubbly, about 20 minutes. Randomly dollop tablespoonfuls of sour cream and guacamole across top; sprinkle with tomatoes and jalapeños. (25 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the beef and chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Freshly made guacamole is always best, but store-bought can be used in a pinch. Spice it up with a pinch of cumin or a dash of hot sauce.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Black olives, green onions, or a drizzle of queso are all delicious additions.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a finely chopped serrano pepper to the meat mixture while cooking.
