Anyhow, my whole childhood was surrounded by food. We were close and ate many dinners at either our house in Murray, Utah or at my Aunt Irene's. I loved it because it meant my Grandma Alice (and Joy and aunts) would make the best Mexican food; enchiladas (cheese for me!), chili verde, red chile, bunuelos, empanadas, pintos, and of course the creme de la creme...homemade flour tortillas. I learned to make enchiladas, chili verde, pintos etc and married a guy that doesn't really like Mexican food. Scott doesn't hate it but it's definitely not his favorite. He loves my moms chili verde smothered mashed potatoes and Aunt Irenes famous salsa, but he doesn't want to eat it everyday. So my little brown but has learned to make more Italian (his fave) food and spaced out our Mexi nights. Well tonight I was feeling like making something healthy and oddly enough one of my go to health meals is Fajitas. As usual it was a hit!!
Oh one more thing--Scott, babe I love you but I'll always interrupt you (it's what I do), will never look good as a blond and love Mexican food. smooches.
Fajitas
serves 2
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 top sirloin steak
2 tbs Sazonadors Supremas
2 limes
1 yellow onion sliced
1 green or red bell pepper sliced
handful of fresh cilantro (optional obviously for those without taste, like Joy)
1 can of low fat re fried beans
sour cream
flour or corn tortillas (corn are lower in calories)
***
Spray saute pan with Pam and set to med/high heat. Slice chicken into thin strips. Cut up one lime into wedges. Place chicken in pan, sprinkle with two lime wedges and 1 tbs of Sazonadors and stir fry for 1 minute til it begins to brown. Add onion and spritz one more lime wedge. Slice steak into same strips and add to pan if you like it medium to well done. Set aside if you like medium rare. Add peppers. When veggies begin to soften and chicken starts to appear cooked now you would add in the steak if you like medium rare. Sprinkle 1 more lime wedge, add cilantro and last tbs of Sazonadors. Once meat is cooked and veggies are soft turn off heat. Warm up beans and tortillas.
Serve with meat mixture and beans. I use remaining lime wedges for fresh sprinkles and also add shredded colby jack and sour cream.
Enjoy
