Eating My Way Through the Alphabet; Letter F

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Home Cooking: First-Class Fajitas! Grilling season is in full swing and what better way to prepare a smorgasbord of flavor. I prefer shrimp, my husband prefers steak, and we both like chicken. So we blend it all together and make this fabulous main course. Throw in the sides, salsa, and cheese, and everyone is happy!
FIRST-CLASS FAJITAS 
Ingredients:

1-pound of shrimp

2 chicken breasts, boneless

1 pound of sirloin steak
Marinate each meat/shrimp in the following: (x3)

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/4 cup tequila 

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Sea salt to taste
1 Vidalia onion

1 green pepper
4 romaine leaves, gently torn

1 tomato, chopped

2 green onions, snipped

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup salsa 

1/2 cup sliced jalapeños 

1/2 cup cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro 

4 flour tortillas
Instructions:

In three shallow dishes, place steak, chicken and shrimp in their own marinade. Let stand for one hour. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Drain marinade and discard. Place meats and shrimp on grill.* Cook through until done. (Chicken will take about 7 minutes per side.)

(Steak will take 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.)

(Shrimp will take 2 minutes per side.)

(Grill the vegetables until tender, about 10 minutes total.) 

Meanwhile toss romaine leaves, tomatoes, and green onions to blend in a bowl. Fill tortillas with your favorite meats, veggies, and toppings. Serve with chips, salsa, and sour cream. Olé!
*For easy cooking on the grill, use one grill pan for the shrimp as well as one for the vegetables.

    • Ohhhhhhhhh, Ericka, I feel as though I am sinking into a cloud of award responsibility. I’m struggling between my cooking, sharing, and blogging. I had no idea how much it requires. I treasure your friendship! 🍓
