MY SISTER RIA'S FAVORITE FAJITAS, WITH BLACK BEANS AND RICE



My Sister Ria's Favorite Fajitas, with Black Beans and Rice image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2/3 cup Mexican beer
1/2 cup chopped chipotle in adobo sauce, found on international foods aisle, smoky chipotle prepared salsa may be substituted
1 lime, juiced
Several sprigs fresh thyme, chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 tablespoons (1/2 palmful) chili powder
A generous drizzle vegetable, corn, or olive oil
Flank steak
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable, corn or olive oil
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 poblano pepper (if you market does not carry them, substitute 1 Cubanelle long Italian pepper)
1 medium yellow-skinned Spanish onion, cut into thin strips
Salt and pepper
1 package Spanish style rice, any brand, prepared to directions on the package
1 tablespoon (1 turn around the pan) vegetable, olive, or corn oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 small white onion
1 large can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper
Chopped cilantro and sliced scallions, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a shallow dish. Turn flank steak in marinade and let stand 15 minutes. The meat can be placed in marinade in the morning and allowed to marinate until suppertime if you enjoy very strong, spicy flavors. The short marinade will result in a milder tasting meat which is more palatable to many not-too-hot taste buds.
  • Follow directions on packaged rice and get it simmering, it will take 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan to high heat and sear the flank steak 4 minutes on each side. Reduce heat and cook meat 6 to 8 minutes longer, turning occasionally.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Blister tortillas 30 seconds on each side and stack them on a plate. Loosely wrap tortillas with foil and place them on the dinner table. Add oil to hot pan and sear sliced peppers and onions for fajitas. Season peppers and onions with salt and pepper. Char edges and stir-fry the peppers and onions until just tender, 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with loose foil to keep hot. Add another tablespoon oil, garlic, jalapeno and chopped onion; saute for 2 minutes. Add black beans and spices to the pan and heat through for another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer beans to a serving dish. Top beans with cilantro and scallions.
  • Remove meat from grill pan and let it rest 5 minutes for juices to distribute. Transfer peppers and onions to grill to get the sizzle effect going. Slice meat very thin on an angle against the grain. Pile meat on top of cooked peppers and onions and take the hot grill to the table, letting rest on trivets or a cool wire rack. Stack meat and veggies in warm tortillas and enjoy with a side of spicy black beans.

MY FAVORITE FAJITAS FROM HOME



My Favorite Fajitas from Home image

i like this recipe because it requires no grilling and i have gotten great responses from all kinds of people so i know this one's a winner. This recipe is actually lower in fat because you will only use about half the cold avocado mix.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 6 fajitas, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
1/2-1 lb raw shrimp
6 ounces sour cream
1 avocado
1/2 tablespoon dry oregano
1 big green pepper
1 big red pepper
1 big onion
1 tablespoon fajita seasoning mix
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
tortilla
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Start by cleaning out the peppers from the inside, must take out the seeds with the core. Take out shrimp shells and tails if necessary. Then you cut the chicken into bite side pieces. Cut the cleaned peppers and onions Julian (thin strips, not to thin though) style After that is done heat up the oil in a big pan to medium heat and pour in the peppers and onions, once in the pan give them a "good cover" of fajita seasoning and mix. After a minutes, drop in the chicken, when it looks like the chicken is almost fully cooked, drop in the shrimp and sprinkle some water into the whole pan and cover for 5 minutes if the pepper mix looks too hard. This helps the produce get softer. Then you mix half (or more is you like) of the avocado with the sour cream. Chop the cilantro and put it in there too along with the dry oregano and some salt and mix. Heat tortillas by sprinkling them with water and heating them up in microwave covered in paper towels. Once tortillas are warm, they will be softer. Put a layer of the cold mix in middle of tortilla and and top it off with the rest of the ingredients from the pan, fold and finally chow down.

MY FAVORITE FAJITA MARINADE



My Favorite Fajita Marinade image

We prefer chicken to steak fajitas in our house, but I'm sure it would taste great with beef as well. I ALWAYS marinate boneless, skinless breasts OVERNIGHT, grill, and slice thinly. I also use half the marinade for sliced onions and peppers, which I marinate in a seperate ziplok bag, then saute in a hot skillet. If serving buffet style, I lower the flame in the skillet, add a little of the veggie marinade, and the sliced, grilled chicken to the skillet. That way, nothing gets cold or dried out.
