to see them all. Here of course, I've loaded them up in exactly the opposite order, but am too tired to exchange them all, so bear with me and you'll get the gist of it.
Here is the finshed beef fahita and coleslaw. Yum... Serve with grated marble cheese, sour cream, salsa, chopped tomatoes and guacamole if you have it. You can also do chopped lettuce, but I figured that the coleslaw did the trick.
You can heat the tortillas in the nuker one by one, or do a pile of them in tinfoil in the oven. Don't overcook them or you'll have tortilla chips!
Rolling it up is important... flip up the bottom of the tortilla and then roll it. That way the filling stays inside.
No quacamole, but here it is... a layer of grated cheese on the hot tortilla, then the pepper, beef and onion fahita mixture, topped with tomaotes
I marinate the meat in a half can of beer and also some lime juice and all my spices , for about a half hour or so before beginning to cook.
A squirt of lime on the beef or chicken mixture at the end of cooking gives it a little pizazz. I use lots of tex mex spices, fahita mix spice, and anything else I have around the kitchen. This time I added a hot sauce and that brought the heat factor up a notch or two.
I cook the veggies first in the wok. I added plenty of chopped garlic too. Then I empty the veggies out into a bowl and throw in the chicken or beef... this was beef from a little striploin steak.
Once the meat was cooked , I added the veggies back into the meat. Usually I cut my red peppers in rounds but slipped up and made them chunky this time... still tasted good. Always check for saltiness...usually that is the spice I am lacking in the meat.
Here is my finished colesaw. Yummy! The dressing is nothing more than vinegar, oil , salt and sugar and garlic and a dash of hotsauce. The key , once again is to add suficient salt. This brings out the flavour of the cilantro and helps soften the cabbage. i used a bag of coleslaw mix to make my life easy peezy.
This is a cute little Ikea chopping board than came in my stocking. I used it to do most of my chopping. Here are the green onions getting chopped up.
here is my coleslaw with the chopped cucumber, tomatoe and cilantro. I went on to add chopped red pepper to the colslaw as well.
This is the nifty double bladed chopper that comes witht he chopping board. The chopper is good for herbs and a small dice.
This is the culmination of my fahita night. I have a new understanding of the word "Trajectory!"
The salsa bowl slipped off the counter and when it smacked ontot he floor, it produced a 360* radius of spewed salsa all around my kitchen... on every cabinet, on the baseboards, the rug, on top of my stove, and ever place unimaginable! Silky did her darndest to help me out but wound up hacking and sneezing from the jalapenos in the salsa. She gave up on being miss floor cleaner.
Two hours later I finshed cleaning every cupboard, my stove, my dishwasher, and anything else down low that I don't even usually see. It was a mess and looks much better now, but I'd recommend not to ever try it!
