Grill...anything. It's quick & delish. If I'm planning on grilling, i try to marinate the meat/veggies the night before.
I make mexican, a lot. My favorite quick mexican dish I make is Nachos...1 lb ground turkey, chili powder, cumin, salt & pepper...mix in a can of black beans.
Pico de Gallo-tomatos, red onion, TONS of fresh cilantro (Cilantro is my favorite herb so I always have it) Garlic, olive oil.
The cheese sauce is chedder (or whatever spicy cheese you have on hand...pepper jack, etc.) You just melt about a tbs butter, add 2tbs flour, let it heat through, to lose the flour taste...add your shredded cheese...2-3 cups...add milk just until it looks "pour-able".
Assemble everything on to some Tortila Chips. Love it.
The whole thing takes maybe 20 mins.
I love "One Dish" meals...meat, veggies, starch all together...especially during the week.
Do you have a good fajita recipe? Donovan loves those, but I can never get the spices right. Mexican isn't my forte.
No, I don't. I've made fajita's before, but cheated and used the McCormick seasoning packet. They are good, but the packets can sometimes be too salty.
Fiddlesticks! Did you use chicken or steak? Donovan likes steak, but I can't figure out the best way to pan fry it with the veggies and seasoning without overcooking it and making it tough.
I've done chicken & steak. I use flank steak...but pound it out so it's nice and thin, and cut it into thin strips. If you don't pound it out to get rid of some of that connective tissue, it is a bit chewy. Pounding works well, and helps get your aggression out. haha
i'll tell you what....this is one of the most simple things i make...and i've made it for a lot of casual dinners...and people RAVE about it. It's such simple ingredients but sooo wonderful!
