Fajitas

[bearfan454]

I've made fajitas out of beef, chicken, deer, almost anything will do. They had boneless chuck roast for 1.99 a lb. I got one and made fajitas out of it for me and Mrs bearfan. First I marinated it in olive oil and garlic for about 3 hours in the icebox.



While it was marinating I started my pico de gallo. It's really easy to make. This is all you need



Dice up the jalapeno, onion, tomato, and cilantro very fine.



Mix it all together in a dish or your granddaughter's Tony the Tiger bowl. Add a little salt at this point and garlic is optional.



Start your meat out on the pit. I used charcoal and mesquite wood mixed together to give it the good smoke flavor.



Get your other ingredients out.



While it's going get your other preparations together. For the rice you will need chicken broth, onion, rice, and Sofrito sauce.



Start your rice by frying onions and rice with a little olive oil.



Add about 4 tablespoons of Saffrito and stir this up.



Add your chicken broth, put a lid on it, and let it simmer until most of the juice is absorbed.



Get your appetizers ready for the oven. Spread canned refried beans on tostada shells.



Add the cheese and get ready to pop them in the 450 degree oven.



Slice your meat at an angle and against the grain.



Bake your appetizers when the rice is almost done. Timing is everything.



Assemble your plate and you are ready to go.
