Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 37

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 white onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
6 button mushrooms, sliced
6 green onions, sliced
1 carrot, cut into julienne strips
Salt
Black pepper
Soy sauce
1/2 pound chicken breast strips
1/2 pound skirt steak
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 pound Cajun sausage
Assorted chiles (recommended: habanero, pasilla, Anaheim, jalapeno), roasted
1 lime, juiced
Guacamole, recipe follows
Salsa, recipe follows
4 avocados, mashed
1 tomato, diced
1 white onion, diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
2 teaspoons finely grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon hot sauce
Salt
Pepper
4 tomatoes
2 white onions
2 chiles (recommended: habanero, pasilla, Anaheim, yellow, or jalapeno), roasted
Olive oil
Black pepper
Chili powder
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Cumin
Garlic salt

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetables, season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce, to taste, and saute until tender yet still crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and reserve.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken, steak, shrimp, and sausage; it is best to select a different area of the grill for each, as they all have very different cooking times. As each is cooked through, remove from the grill, cut into strips, and reserve.
  • Heat the same large skillet until very hot and return the vegetables to the pan. Layer the assorted roasted chiles on top and then lay the meat on top of the chiles. Add the lime juice for that famous fajita sizzle and serve immediately with the Guacamole and Salsa.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Preheat a grill to high.
  • Coat the tomatoes, onions, and chiles in olive oil, black pepper, and chili powder, to taste. Blacken vegetables on the grill. Remove from the heat and then dice when cool enough to handle. Mix together in a bowl with the lime juice and cilantro. Season, to taste, with cumin, garlic salt, and additional pepper and chili powder.

EASY SPICY CHICKEN FAJITAS



Easy Spicy Chicken Fajitas image

An easy, low fat chicken fajita recipe with tons of spice and flavor! I have tweaked it over the past several months and have it the way my fiance and I love it. Any of the spices can be tweaked or omitted to suit your family's preferences. Good served with Spanish or Mexican rice and chips with salsa. I feel it's bold and absolutely delicious.
