FAJITAS

This is one of Sally and Ben’s favorite dishes.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 12 ounces beef, pork or skinless chicken, cut into strips
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 tortillas
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• grated cheddar cheese
• sour cream
• guacamole
• salsa

 

Melt 1 tbsp butter and combine with lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic. Add meat and marinate for half a hour.

Warm the tortillas. Put the grated cheddar, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa into small serving dishes.

In a cast iron skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter then quickly stir-fry the meat. Remove it and set it aside, then quickly stir-fry the onion and peppers and add them to the meat. Put the filling in a bowl.

Let guests assemble their own fajitas with their choice of condiments.
