Spicy Blackened Fish Fajitas Recipes

BLACKENED FISH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together paprika, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, thyme and salt; set aside. Heat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat until extremely hot, about 10 minutes.
• Pour 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish. Dip each fillet into butter, turning once to coat both sides. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with spice mixture, and gently pat mixture onto fish.
• Place fillets into hot pan without crowding. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each fillet. Cook until fish has a charred appearance, about 2 minutes. Turn fillets, spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter over each, and cook until charred. Repeat with remaining fish.

FISH FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add the beans, salsa and 1/2 cup water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers and sliced onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, without stirring, until the vegetables are browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Toss the fish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder; season generously with salt. Scatter over the roasted vegetables and broil until the fish is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir the cilantro into the beans and divide among plates. Serve with the fish, roasted vegetables, tortillas, guacamole and lime wedges.

LIGHTLY SPICED FISH FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Put the beaten egg into a shallow bowl. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a plate. Mix the fajita seasoning into the breadcrumbs.
• Brush a non-stick baking sheet with oil. Dip the fish strips into the egg, then coat them with the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oven.
• Meanwhile, put the spring onions and peppers on a baking tray and turn them through a small amount of oil. When the fish has been in the oven for 5 mins, put the onions and peppers in. Bake for a further 10 mins until the fish fingers are golden.
• Mash the avocados with a fork and stir through the diced tomato, lime juice and some black pepper. Get the other accompaniments ready in bowls.
• Warm the tortillas for 15-30 secs in the microwave, or you can warm them through on a plate in the oven for a few mins.
• Place all the food in dishes on the table and let everyone dig in!

SWEET-AND-SPICY BEEF FAJITAS

Steps:

• Cut beef into beef strips. (Beef is easier to cut if partially frozen, about 1 1/2 hours.)
• Heat 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat. Add oil; rotate skillet to coat side.
• Add beef; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown; drain. Stir in salsa, ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until hot. Serve in tortillas with remaining ingredients.

SPICY SHRIMP FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and garlic in the hot oil until they begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add shrimp, chipotle peppers, sazon seasoning, and lime juice and continue to saute until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes.
• Serve with warm tortillas.

SPICY BEEF FAJITAS

Steps:

• Hold each tortilla with tongs and heat over a gas-burner flame until warm. (Alternatively, wrap stacked tortillas in foil, and heat in a 375°F oven.) Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add bell peppers, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cumin, and coriander; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until vegetables are tender and browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add steak and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add lime juice, and stir, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet.
• Serve beef mixture with tortillas and accompaniments, as desired.

SPICY BLACKENED FISH FAJITAS

Steps:

• Instructions
• In a small bowl, combine paprika, pepper, salt, oregano, sugar, garlic powder, and cayenne. Place fish in a large bowl, or zip-top bag, and add seasoning mixture. Stir or shake to coat well.
• In a large pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and peppers, and cook 5-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove onion and peppers from pan and set aside. Add another drizzle of olive oil and add about ⅓ of the fish. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, remove from pan and repeat with the remaining fish. (Don’t crowd the pan, this will help it to get slightly crispy on the outside and will prevent the fish from steaming).
• To serve, add a few pieces of fish, peppers, and onions to each tortilla. Add a little lime juice and garnish with cilantro and cheese.

SPICY BLACKENED CATFISH

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the paprika, the oregano, the thyme, the cayenne, the sugar, the salt, and the black pepper, pat the catfish dry, and sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the fillet, coating them well. In a large skillet sauté the garlic in the oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until it is golden brown and discard the garlic. Add the butter, heat it until the foam subsides, and in the fat sauté the catfish for 4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through. Transfer the catfish fillets with a slotted spatula to 2 plates and serve them with the lemon wedges.
