Well, we decided to start simple tonight and try fajitas with no recipe. (You might be wondering why I'm mentioning that there was no recipe, I usually don't go into the kitchen without one or some sort of direction. Tonight I threw caution to the wind.) I know fajitas should be simple, but I'm nervous in the kitchen.
So, we put some olive oil in the pan, threw in two cloves of garlic and two habaneras then put some chicken tenderloins in the pan and sprinkled some black pepper on top. While that was cooking, I chopped up a red and green pepper and threw those in. Finished cooking the chicken up. Then cut up the chicken and served on tortillas with cheese, lettuce, hot sauce and sour cream. Wasn't bad for the first time cooking fajitas. The habaneras gave it a nice burn, however the chicken could have used a little more zest or spice, not sure which.
I would give it a 5/10. My hubby gave it a 6/10.
What do you like putting in your fajitas?
Avocado slices!
ReplyDeleteAt a friend's house we had yummy fried avocado. I'm going to try to do that one weekend. :-D
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the onions!! I suggest marinating the chicken beforehand to help infuse some flavor. A lime-based marinade should do the trick and not be terribly difficult to make; there's a plethora of them online. Cumin is a popular fajita spice, but it's not for everybody.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about marinating the chicken beforehand. Great idea!
