Fajita Dinner

I love making fajitas for my family. I like to set up a variety of "toppings" and let everyone assemble their own fajita. It's one of those meals that makes everyone happy, even the kids!

Ingredients:

1 thin cut bone in pork shoulder steak (mine was .64lb and was plenty to serve 4 adults) with bone removed and cut into bite sized pieces. (Chicken or steak can be substituted.)

1/2 cup of beer

1 sweet onion sliced

1 red bell pepper sliced

1 green bell pepper sliced

10 cherry tomatoes

1 can black beans drained and rinsed

1 avocado

1tbs. taco seasoning

salt

vegetable oil

flour tortillas

Cotija cheese

cilantro

sour cream

 

Directions:

Begin by heating two non-stick skillets over medium high heat.  Add 2 tbs. of  vegetable oil to one of the pans and add pork and taco seasoning.  In your other pan add 2 tbs. vegetable oil, onions and peppers.  Season both pans with a pinch of salt.  Stir both the vegetables and the pork frequently.  When the pork begins to brown add the beer and lower heat.  Both the pork and the peppers will take about 10-15 minutes to cook.  While the onions/peppers and pork are cooking assemble the rest of your items on a platter or in bowls and heat flour tortillas.  When the pork and onion/pepper mixture are finished you're ready to begin assembling your fajitas!  This is a picture of my fajita and it was amazing!*

 

*There are many substitutions or variations that can be used for fajitas, these are just the ingredients that I happened to have on hand.   Pinto or refried beans would be great or salsa instead of tomatoes!  Leave me a comment and let me know how you made your fajitas!  Enjoy!
