Time 25m

Yield 2-3 fajitas, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 chicken breast, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped finely
1/4 onion, in thin slices
1/2 green pepper, in thin slices
4 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 jalapeno, diced
0.25 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning or 0.25 (1 1/4 ounce) packet enchilada seasoning
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 -3 flour tortillas
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 cup refried beans
1/2 avocado, mashed
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
lettuce
tomatoes, chopped
black olives, chopped

Steps:

  • Put the garlic, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and chicken in a skillet with olive oil and sauté. After the chicken is cooked through sprinkle with taco or enchilada seasoning packet. I usually use about a quarter of a packet.
  • Spread cream cheese on each tortilla and heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Spread cream cheese evenly on tortillas.
  • Spread a thin layer of refried bean on the tortillas.
  • Spread the sautéed chicken and veggies on the tortillas. Top with cheddar cheese, mashed avocado, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes and black olives.
  • Enjoy!

SEARED-STEAK FAJITAS



Seared-Steak Fajitas image

For a fast, low-calorie dinner, try this Tex-Mex classic. It uses top round steak, which is a very lean cut of beef, plus it packs plenty of fresh flavor. Other lean cuts of beef, like eye of round or top sirloin, will also work in this recipe.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound top round steak
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 medium green bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 large white onion, halved and thinly sliced
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup grated white cheddar (2 ounces)
1 large tomato, chopped
Cilantro sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish or bowl, combine steak, soy sauce, and 1/4 cup lime juice. Refrigerate 1 hour, turning steak occasionally. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice. Set garlic oil aside.
  • Remove steak from marinade and blot dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron or heavy skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Cook steak until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
  • Add peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in reserved garlic oil. Thinly slice steak and serve with vegetables, tortillas, cheese, tomato, and cilantro.
