Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Place a grill basket on a baking sheet. Mix together the cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Add the steak to a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle a third of the spice blend on the steak and toss until coated. Transfer the steak to one side of the grill basket. Repeat the process first with the peppers and onion, placing them in the middle of the grill basket, and then with the chicken, arranging it on the remaining empty side of the grill basket; try to keep the rows mostly separate (they can overlap slightly). Close and secure the grill basket.
- Put the grill basket on the grill and let cook, flipping once, until everything starts to brown and caramelize, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, place on a clean baking sheet and open the basket, letting it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the tortillas until they start to char slightly, about 30 seconds per side.
- Divide the meats and vegetables among the tortillas. Serve with desired toppings.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for fajitas because it's well-marinated and slow-cooked, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
- Use a smoky and flavorful marinade: A good marinade will help to infuse the pork with flavor. Look for a recipe that includes a combination of spices, herbs, and citrus juices.
- Cook the pork until it's fall-apart tender: Slow-cooking is the best way to achieve fall-apart tender pork. Cook the pork for at least 4 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Slice the pork against the grain: This will help to make the meat more tender and easier to chew.
- Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include grilled vegetables, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Conclusion:
Pork fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The smoky and flavorful pork, combined with the fresh and tangy toppings, makes for a truly unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, pork fajitas are the perfect choice.
