1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Rub the beef and chicken with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and fajita seasoning; slice into 1-inch strips. Set aside.
3

Warm the refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
4

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

Heat the corn oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cut the tortillas in half, then cut each half again to make 4 triangular pieces per tortilla. Fry the tortilla triangles in the hot oil in batches without overlapping until crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining tortilla triangles. Discard the oil; wipe out the skillet.
6

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

Layer the tortilla triangles in a large baking dish; spread the refried beans evenly over the top. Sprinkle with cheese; evenly spread the meat mixture on top.
8

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

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
