FAJITA NACHOS

Steps:

• If you have a grill, grill flank steak seasoned with fajita seasoning until done.
• If not, you can also cook indoors in a well-greased skillet.
• Arrange tortilla chips on a baking sheet with aluminum foil covering it.
• A pizza pan works particularly well for this.
• Top the chips with the cooked Flank Steak, topped with cheese and any other toppings you desire, such as peppers or onions.
• I also like to add a bit of fajita seasoning to the cheese to give it a little zest.
• Place in 350 Degree oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on how long it takes to melt the cheese.
• Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, or any other desired garnish.

• 5.Stir in the bell peppers and onion. Cook the vegetables for 5 to 7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
• 6.For each quesadilla, sprinkle ¼ cup Cheddar cheese on half of a tortilla. Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese. Top with ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese and fold the tortilla over, forming a half moon. Press lightly.

FAJITA NACHOS

Steps:

• For the flank steak: Combine the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, chipotle peppers with sauce and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor or a blender. Blend until totally combined. Put the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or baking dish. Pour in the marinade and make sure it adequately coats the meat. Seal the bag or cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours at least.
• For the nachos: When ready to make the nachos, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat an indoor grill pan to high. Remove the meat from the marinade (discard the marinade).
• Drizzle a little olive oil on the grill and grill the meat over very high heat, about 4 minutes per side. (Turn it 45 degrees halfway through on both sides to get nifty grill marks.) Set aside to rest.
• In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers, sprinkle over the taco seasoning and cook until the vegetables are somewhat soft and starting to get black bits, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Slice half of the flank steak into strips against the grain, then chop the slices into smaller bites (see Cook's Note). Put the sauteed veggies on a cutting board and roughly chop to get them into smaller pieces.
• Arrange the tortilla chips on a large ovenproof platter (or baking sheet). Sprinkle plenty of cheese all over the top. Put the platter in the oven for 3 minutes or so, just long enough to melt the cheese (but not burn the chips). Generously sprinkle the peppers, onions and chopped steak all over the top. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
• Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream and pico de gallo.

SPICY CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, honey, jalapeno pepper, and garlic together in another bowl until marinade is smooth. Pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 12 hours to overnight, turning occasionally.
• Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Pour marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in tomato, minced onion, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce until guacamole is well-combined.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook chicken on preheated grill, basting with marinade and turning often, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to rest, about 5 minutes. Slice chicken across the grain into thin strips.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute sliced onion and red bell pepper in hot oil until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until softened 1 to 3 minutes. Place strips of chicken down the center of each tortilla and top with shredded lettuce, sauteed onion and red bell peppers, and guacamole. Wrap each tortilla tightly around filling.
