Foil Packet Food Steak Fajitas Recipes

STEAK FAJITA FOIL PACKET DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven or grill to 450F
• Combine all seasonings together to create a dry rub. Cut steak into strips and combine steak with dry rub in a bag so that each piece gets fully coated.
• Cut onions and bell peppers into slices, combine with avocado oil and garlic salt.
• Cut 6 pieces (grill) or 3 pieces (oven) of 18 x 18 inch heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Split veggies and meat among 3 pieces of foil evenly.

STEAK FAJITA FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Heat an outdoor grill to medium-high, direct heat (400 to 425ºF). Tear 8 (8-inch long) sheets of aluminum foil. Stack 1 sheet on top of another sheet, then repeat with the remaining 6 sheets. You should end up with 4 stacks of foil.
• Divide 1 cup dried long-grain rice between the 4 packets. Thinly slice 1 small red or yellow onion, 1 medium red bell pepper, and 1 medium green bell pepper, and divide the pepper and onions over the rice.
• Mince 2 garlic cloves. Thinly slice 1 pound flank steak across the grain. Sprinkle the steak with the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and toss to combine. Divide the steak over the vegetables.
• Whisk together 2 cups water with 1/4 cup lime juice. Pour 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of the liquid over each pile of steak and rice. Tightly seal each packet. Grill or roast until the rice is cooked and the steak is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with sour cream and avocado.

FOIL PACKET FOOD: STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Slice your steak thinly, against the grain. If you wish to marinate it do so. We typically crack open a tasty beer and marinate our steak, with seasonings, in the beer for about 30 minutes before proceeding.
• Thinly slice your bell peppers and onions, then place in a bowl with some olive oil. Season this with a little salt and pepper if you wish.
• Cut four large pieces of foil (about 18 inches) and four slightly smaller pieces of parchment paper (about 16 inches). Place one piece of parchment paper on top of each piece of foil.
• If you are using the minute rice, place 1/4 cup of the rice in the center of the packet first.
• Then, using your tongs, place 1/4 of your steak on top of the rice.
• Next, add 1/4 of your peppers and onions on and around the steak.
• Fold the long sides together and form a seam. Then roll the short sides up to form additional seams.
• Refrigerate up to three days or freeze until time to go camping.
• Start your campfire or heat up your grill so that your heat source is ready. If using wood or charcoal, let the flames die out prior to cooking your food.
• Place your foil packets over heat for 15-20 minutes, flipping about halfway through. If you are also heating up tortillas in a foil packet, throw them on for the last 5 minutes.
• Carefully pull the packets off and let them cool for a minute or two.
• Open them up and assemble away using whatever optional ingredients you have brought along. We typically add shredded cheese and salsa at a minimum, sour cream and avocado when we have space to bring them.

FOIL PACK STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Place the sliced flank steak in a large, zip-top bag. Set aside 2 teaspoons of the fajita seasoning.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining fajita seasoning, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, lime juice, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add to sliced steak in bag and seal. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, place sliced peppers and onions in a medium bowl. Toss with remaining tablespoon of oil and remaining fajita seasoning. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Tear off 6-8 large sheets of aluminum foil. Spray each sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Dived flank steak, peppers and onions evenly between foil sheets. Seal foil tightly around fajita mixture.
• Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until peppers are tender and steak is cooked to desired doneness.
• Serve in flour tortillas with your choice of toppings.

FOIL-PACKET CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Tear off four 12-by-18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil and set aside.
• Toss the chicken with the onion and bell peppers in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the fajita seasoning, oil, adobo sauce, cumin and lime juice in a separate small bowl. Pour over the chicken mixture and toss gently with tongs to coat evenly.
• Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the 4 sheets of foil. Bring up two short sides to meet and fold over a few times to close tightly, then fold the remaining sides in and up to seal the packet completely. Repeat with the remaining foil packets.
• Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the packets on in a single layer and return to the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have softened slightly, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and microwaving until warm, about 40 seconds. Serve the fajitas with the tortillas, rice and toppings of your choice.

FOIL PACKET GRILLED CHICKEN FAJITAS

• Marinade 2 hours.
• Place mixture in foil and seal (leaving some expansion and steam space).
• Grill 10 - 15 minutes.
• Serve with tortillas toppings.

STEAK FAJITAS--RECIPE AND METHOD

Steps:

• Tamari is aged soy sauce and can be found in most grocery stores.
• In a blender combine the olive oil, tamari, green onions, garlic cloves, lime juice, red pepper flakes, cumin and brown sugar.
• Blend until smooth.
• Cut your skirt steak into 3 equal pieces.
• Place steaks in a large zip-lock baggie.
• Pour in marinade, remove as much air as possible and seal.
• Move steak around in baggie so that all sides are coated.
• Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
• Wrap your tortillas in aluminum foil-seal.
• Slice green peppers in half-remove seeds.
• Peel and slice your onion into 1/4 inch slices.
• Heat charcoal until grey ash is achieved.
• Place grill grate "directly" on top of hot coals.
• Heat grate for 10 minutes.
• While grate is heating up get a 2 foot length of aluminum foil and fold over once. Crimp sides well to make a foil pouch. You will want to double if not using heavy duty foil.
• Remove steaks from marinade-place directly onto hot grate.
• Discard marinade in baggie.
• Cook for 1 minute 30 seconds per side.
• Remove, place on foil and seal.
• Let stand in sealed foil packet for 15 minutes.
• While steak is resting grill peppers and onion slices to desired doneness.
• Place foil wrapped tortillas on grate for 3 minutes, flip and continue to heat for another 3 minutes.
• Open foil packet carefully so that you reserve the juices.
• Slice steaks thinly across the grain, straight down-no need to angle the slice, no more than 1/4 inch thick.
• Return meat to foil packet and coat with juices.
• Slice peppers and cut onion slices in half.
• Dress your tortillas with meat, peppers and onions.
• Optional condiments are sour cream, guacamole, shredded sharp cheddar or queso cheese, sliced jalapeños.
• We have used flank steak with equal success. Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board and carefully cut it in half widthwise (so that it looks like you have two thin flank steaks), cut one into 3 pieces and continue with recipe directions, freezing the other half for another night.
• Prep time includes marinating time.
