Smokybeeffajitas Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk water, oil, liquid smoke, and fajita seasoning together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add avocados, bell pepper, and onion, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight; turn occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Stack tortillas; wrap in aluminum foil. Place in oven to warm.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Drain marinade from vegetable mixture; transfer to a plate. Separate avocados from onions and bell peppers.
• Place onions and peppers, in 1 layer, onto grill using tongs; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer to an oven-proof pan; cover with aluminum foil. Place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
• Place avocados in 1 layer onto grill; cook, turning once, until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Fill tortillas with avocado and onion mixture; roll or fold tortilla around filling.

Steps:

• Make the marinade:
• In a large bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the lime juice, the cumin, and the oil.
• Add the steak to the marinade, turning it to coat it well, and let it marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 1 hour or overnight. Grill the steak, drained, on a well-oiled rack set about 5 inches over glowing coals or in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it is just springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. (Alternatively, the steak may be broiled on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.) Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes. While the steak is standing, in a large skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, add the bell peppers, the onion, and the garlic, and sauté the mixture, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the bell peppers are softened. Slice the steak thin across the grain on the diagonal and arrange the slices on a platter with the bell pepper mixture. Drizzle any steak juices over the steak and the pepper mixture and serve the steak and the pepper mixture with the tortillas, the guacamole, and the salsa.
• To assemble a fajita:
• Spread some of the guacamole on a tortilla, top it with a few slices of the steak, some of the pepper mixture, and some of the salsa, and roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.
• To warm tortillas:
• In the oven:Stack 6 tortillas at a time, wrap each stack in foil, and heat the tortillas in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 5 minutes for corn tortillas and 15 minutes for flour tortillas. (If the tortillas are very dry to begin with, pat each tortillas between dampened hands before stacking them.)
• In the microwave:Stack 6 tortillas at time, wrap each stack in a microwave-safe plastic bag, and heat the tortillas in a microwave oven at high power (100%) for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are heated through and pliable.

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add steak strips, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir beef in hot skillet until all liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve cooked beef with tortillas, salsa and Mexican cheese blend.

Steps:

• Rinse steaks with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of steaks with 1 packet of fajita seasoning. Slice into strips; set aside. Add vegetables to a 5-quart slow cooker. Toss with remaining packet of fajita seasoning. Add steak strips on top of vegetables. Pour in beer. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.
• Serve hot with peppers, warm tortillas, refried beans, and shredded cheese, if desired.

Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and paprika and cook, tossing to coat, until reduced, about 10 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, microwave the sweet potato until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then peel and transfer to a large bowl. Add the quinoa and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined. Beat in the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form into four 4-inch-wide patties and freeze until firm, 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grates. Grill the patties until marked, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the buns. Serve the burgers on the buns with onion and sprouts.

Steps:

• In a large, sturdy plastic bag, combine the chipotles, garlic, 2 tblsps of the olive oil, the lime juice and Worcestershire Sauce.

• Preheat the oven to 250F.

• Working with one at a time, add the tortillas to the skillet and warm quickly over high heat, turning once, until softened and heated through, about 15 seconds per side.

• Heat 2 tblsps of the olive oil in the skillet until almost smoking.
• Add the red and yellow peppers and cook over high heat, stirring, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes.
