Fajitas

I've always loved fajitas--the sizzling goodness!  It's such a simple dish with the most important part of it being to get a good caramelization on everything (which is also the hard part!).  The easiest way to combat this is to make everything in batches and add it back together at the end.  The result is a deliciously caramelized fajita meal!

Fajitas

Makes 4 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds steak or chicken, cut into strips
1 medium onion, sliced
3 peppers, sliced
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
Toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, etc

1. Heat olive oil in a heat skillet like a cast iron skillet until very hot.
2. Add meat and cook until caramelized on the outside (deep brown but not burned).  This might have to be done in more than one batch to get a good color to them.  Set to the side if doing more than one batch.
3. Add peppers and onions, searing until caramelized.  This might have to be done in more than one batch to get a good color to them.  Set to the side if doing more than one batch.
4. Add meat and pepper mixture back into pan and sprinkle seasoning on top.
5. Stir until seasoning is incorporated.
6. Serve with tortillas, sour cream, salsa, cheese, etc

What else can I say?....  YAY it's Wednesday!
