LEFTOVER CHICKEN OR BEEF FAJITAS WITH FRESH GUACAMOLE



Leftover Chicken or Beef Fajitas With Fresh Guacamole image

I used leftover Recipe #226934 in this. If your leftover chicken meat isn't very Mexican tasting, you might want to rub it with some cumin powder & chile powder first, or even some Mexican seasoning.

MAGIC CHICKEN, BEEF OR SHRIMP FAJITAS



Magic Chicken, Beef or Shrimp Fajitas image

My husband's recipe for fajitas, based on a recipe found in a Mexican cookbook by Jane Milton and his own experimentation. The inclusion of cinnamon is what to me gives these fajitas such a great flavor! Serve with your favorite accompaniments along with rice and beans and a strong margarita!

Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4-1 lb steak or 3/4-1 lb shrimp, cut in strips against grain
oil (enough to coat meat)
1 (5 g) packet Sazon Goya seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 -3 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 -2 tablespoon black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 -2 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
lime juice (just enough to coat meat)
1 dash tequila
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1/2 red pepper, sliced
flour tortillas or corn tortilla

Steps:

  • Cut meat in strips (against the grain) and place in medium sized freezer bag.
  • Drizzle enough oil over the meat to coat and shake bag.
  • Add all all seasonings to bag, shake to coat meat.
  • Add enough lime juice to coat meat, plus dash of tequila.
  • Marinade (ideal time for steak or chicken-- 1 1/2 -2 hours, shrimp-- no more than 30 minutes).
  • Heat cast iron skillet on medium-high until smoking, add approximately 1/4 of the meat plus onion and peppers and sear for approximately 3-5 minutes. If cooking just chicken or shrimp, you may need to add a small amount of oil (1 tsp). Do not overcrowd the skillet or you will not achieve a good sear.
  • Continue cooking the rest of the fajitas in small batches. Serve with tortillas and accompaniments.
