Fajitas!


Fajita Ingredients
  • 2 small bell peppers, sliced (12 ounces)
  • 1 small onion, sliced in half, then sliced root to tip (4 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6-8 corn tortilla
Fajita Marinade

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons tequila
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • 1 small jalepeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • (mushrooms optional if you like them....ew)
Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the bell peppers and onions. Toss to coat. Let marinate for 1 hour, mixing once or twice.  (I marinated for like 20 minutes and it was still delicious).

Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil. Once hot, add the bell peppers, mushrooms and onions, draining as much of the marinade away as possible.

Cook, stirring only a few times, until any marinade has cooked off, and the vegetables are just beginning to sear around the edges, 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately with warmed tortillas.

I served with refined beans, salsa, and sour cream.  Oh, and margaritas...duh :)
