List of Ingredients




Flour or corn tortillas
Two pounds flank steak, shrimp, or chicken breast
One green bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil





Recipe



If using flank steak or chicken: slice into three-inch strips approximately 3/4 inch wide. If using shrimp: Clean, peel, and de-vein.
Slice bell pepper lengthwise, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
Slice onion into 1/2 inch wide strips.
Mix all spices together in a small bowl.
Pour olive oil into large bowl; add spices and mix well.
Marinate meat, pepper, and onion in olive oil�spice mix for 10 minutes. Be sure meat and vegetables are coated well.
Heat a large skillet (cast iron works best, but any will do) on medium-high. When hot, add meat and veggies. You do not need to add more oil to the skillet.
Stir constantly and cook until veggies are soft and, if using steak, meat is done to your taste (it cooks to medium well in less than 10 minutes). If using chicken, cook until chicken is entirely cooked (10 to 12 minutes). If using shrimp, cook until shrimp has turned pink (5 to 7 minutes). Meanwhile, warm tortillas in your oven or microwave.
Serve family-style with salsa fresca, guacamole, sour cream, shredded Monterey jack cheese, Spanish rice, and black beans. Allow people to "roll their own" fajitas.
