NAPA DAVE'S CHICKEN FAJITA RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine well. Add the chicken and the vegetables.
• Let this marinate at least 15 minutes, but no more than an hour so the mix doesn't get mushy.
• Heat a large flat griddle or a large frying pan to high heat. Cook the mix in several batches so that the mixture is not crowded in the pan- it will brown much easier and taste better that way. It takes about 6-8 minutes each batch to get them noce and browned. Turn the mixture occasionally as it cooks to get the browning even.
• Add the mixture back onto a clean bowl as you cook the rest- cover the bowl with a large plate so the vegetables will continue to steam and get soft.
• Heat the tortillas as you normally do- we throw ours on the grill before we start to warm them. We then keep them in a covered bowl where they are easy to pull out to serve!
• We usually serve these family style- with the bowl of fajitas in the center of the table and everyone builds their own!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place steak in a shallow dish; rub with lime juice, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover, and let marinate at room temperature at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook steak until browned on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steak to a plate; cover with foil, and set aside.
• In same skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until onions and peppers begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wrap stacked tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake until warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• To serve, slice steak thinly. Serve with onion mixture, warmed tortillas, and desired accompaniments.

DAVE'S FAJITAS

Steps:

After rest slice meat into thin strips. Mix peppers and onions in large pan. Sprinkle w oil, mix, then roast in oven at 400 until almost done approx 20 - 30 minutes. Stir after 10 minutes then again after every 5 minutes or so. Mix sliced meat(include any juice) and black beans to peppers/onions and give a little extra final roasting in oven until beans are hot and meat and pepper mix are fully cooked. Heat tortilla over open flame on stove then fill with roasted mixture. Top with cheese, cilantro and hot sauce.
