Raul Dominguez Makes Fajita's
Raul Recipe: One Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Ingredients (Spice measurements are on the conservative side of life, feel free to use more)
6 Tortillas
3 Bell peppers
1/2 of an onion (I prefer red onion)
1 lb of shrimp (fresh or frozen work fine; if frozen, thaw before)
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp pepper
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Cumin
1 Lime (Juiced)
Instructions
If using frozen shrimp, thaw before cooking
Some prefer to cook the shrimp with skin and tails attached, I prefer to remove all of it before cooking
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the corner on a large baking tray
Slice your bell peppers and onions into strips and place them on the baking sheet
Place your shrimp on top of the veggies. Onto the ingredients, drizzle the oil, and sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and lime juice
Toss the ingredients with a pair of tongs until they are all evenly coated
Put your baking sheet into the oven for 10 - 12 minutes
Remove from oven and place ingredients inside your warm tortillas
Serve with salsita (your preference), guacamole, and plenty of cilantro
ProTip: these pair well with your favorite margarita (I could also prep margs for this btw)
Enjoy!
Spencer Recipe: Chicken Fajitas
Fajitas Ingredients (all spices are to taste)
Tortillas
2 Bell Peppers
1/2 onion (I prefer red onion)
1 lb of chicken breasts
1 Tbsp Olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Fresh Garlic to taste
Cumin to taste
Chili Powder to taste
Paprika to taste
2-4 Limes depending on juice needs
Salsa Ingredients
2 tomatoes
1/2 a red onion
Jalapeño
Lime
Garlic
Cilantro
Instructions
Pre-marinade chicken breasts with your choice of spices. The spices above are what I use, but everything is optional.
Slice your bell peppers and onions into strips and place aside
In a preheated pan at medium heat, add olive oil to the pan, and then add pre-marinated chicken.
cook your chicken breast on one side until it is easily released from the pan, and then flip to the other side.
When the chicken is cooked through remove the chicken from the pan, and add the fajita vegetables and cook for a few minutes resisting the urge from moving things around too much so that a good amount of color occurs.
Slice the chicken into strips, and add back to the pan and combine vegetables and chicken until entirely cooked.
Serve with salsa (your preference), I made fresh pico which was just finely diced ingredients.
serve with warm tortillas
