Leftover Chicken Or Beef Fajitas With Fresh Guacamole Recipes

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, corn syrup, hot sauce, and pepper. Add leftover meat strips, bell peppers and onion and toss to coat.
• Set a large greased stove-top grill pan over medium-medium high heat.
• Grill meats and veggies 5 to 7 minutes, drizzling any remaining juices over the top, until vegetables are cooked to your liking and meat is heated through.
• Transfer mixture to a serving platter.
• Meanwhile, warm tortillas in the microwave or according to package directions.
• To make the guacamole, in a zip-top bag or medium bowl, mash avocado lightly.
• Then add tomato, garlic, lime juice and cilantro and combine.
• Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
• Serve fajitas with guacamole, some sour cream, and salsa on the side.

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a blender, combine the olive oil, chili powder, Worcestershire, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic and lime juice. Next add the sugar, salt and pepper and blend the marinade until it's totally combined and smooth.
• For the meat: Place the chicken and beef in separate 2-quart baking dishes or large resealable plastic storage bags. Pour the marinade over the chicken and beef and rub the marinade all over the meat. Give your hands a good wash, and then cover the dishes with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours.
• For the pico de gallo: Chop the tomatoes, jalapenos and onion into a very small dice. (Leave the seeds in your jalapenos for a hotter pico. Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your preferred temperature.) Next, chop up a nice-sized bunch of cilantro. Just remove and discard the long leafless stems before chopping. No need to remove the leaves from the stems completely. Place all of these ingredients together in a bowl and give it a good stir. Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the bowl. Add salt to taste and stir again.
• For the fajita vegetables: Throw the onions and bell peppers into a bowl and toss with the olive oil and some salt and pepper.
• When ready to cook, preheat the grill to high heat.
• Cook the chicken on both sides until completely cooked through (or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Remove it to a platter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Grill the beef on both sides until completely cooked through, about 5 minutes in total. Remove it to a platter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Tip the fajita vegetables into a grill basket and grill until cooked, tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• To put it all together: Pile the veggies on a platter. Slice the chicken and beef.
• For the fixins: Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm through on the grill. Serve the chicken, beef and veggies with the warm tortillas, Fiesta Beans, grated cheese, sour cream, lime wedges and pico de gallo.
• Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Set them aside and let them soak for 5 to 6 hours or overnight.
• Drain and rinse the beans, and then place them in a large pot. Add the garlic, green, orange and red bell peppers and the onions. Cover them with about an inch of water, and then add the ham hock or bacon. Next add the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans until tender, about 2 hours. Check the liquid level about halfway through the cooking process; if you'd prefer the beans to be less soupy, you can ladle off about a third of the cooking liquid.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, corn syrup, hot sauce, and pepper. Add steak, bell peppers and onion and toss to coat. Cook immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours.

• To make the guacamole, in a zip-top bag or medium bowl, mash avocado lightly. Then add tomato, garlic, lime juice and cilantro and combine. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

• Add chicken to marinade, turning to coat.
• Cover and chill about an hour.
• Drain chicken, reserving marinade.
• Grill chicken on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for about 5 minutes.
• Turn chicken and brush with marinade; grill for 7-10 minutes more or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
• OR, place chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 5-6" from the heat for 10-12 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade once.
• Wrap tortillas in foil and heat on grill or in oven during the last 5 minutes of cooking the chicken.
• To serve, cut chicken into bite-sized strips.
• On each tortilla, arrange chicken strips, shredded letturce, shredded cheese, tomato and sliced olives.

Steps:

• Slice the bread open lengthwise so you have two long pieces.
• Season the chicken breasts with the fajita seasoning (or taco seasoning) and grill on both sides until cooked through.
• Let cool slightly, then slice into thin strips. (If you are using pre-cooked chicken strips, just warm them up. You don't even need to season them with fajita seasoning if you don't want to)
• Saute the peppers and onions with some fajita seasoning for about 3-5 minutes, or until the water has cooked off.
• To assemble, spread the salsa on the bottom of the bread.
• Add the grilled chicken slices, then the sauteed peppers and onion, then the cheese slice.

• Stir until well blended.
• Cut each lime in half and squeeze all of their juices into the mixture.
• Stir well.
• Taste, and then ad salt to suit your taste.

• Will keep for about one week when tightly covered and kept in the refrigerator.
