My Flat Fajitas
This Thanksgiving, I am going to run away from all the turkey-related programs from Food Network. Turkey, pumpkin, turkey, pumpkin. Thank god for the long Thanksgiving weekend. I am preparing my tastebuds for Mexico!
What’s needed is a packet of McCormick Fajitas Seasoning, a packet Kraft Mexican Style Four-Cheese Mix (consisting of finely shredded reduced fat Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby and Mozzarella Cheeses with added calcium) and a packet of Mission White Corn Tortillas, beef strips, onion and peppers.
First season the pre-cut beef strips with salt, pepper, 2 tsp of McCormick Fajitas Seasoning and cornflour. (The cornflour is supposed to seal in the beef juice during the stir fry.) Slice up a quarter of a large white onion, (you can use yellow onion if you want to) and measure out 2 cups of pre-cut frozen red, yellow, green peppers.
When the oil in the wok is hot enough, stir fry the beef until their color changes. Set them aside and stir fry the onions and peppers.
When they are almost done, add the beef back to the wok and give them a good mix.
Lay out the tortillas on a plate and put some shredded cheese on top.
Then top that with the stir fried beef strips, peppers and onion mix.
Roll up the tortillas and place them on top of a grill. I used my George Foreman Grill, which is quite amazing because it heats up very quickly on both of the grill plates.
Because I needed to press down the grill plates to prevent the fajitas from unrolling, I ended up with FLAT FAJITAS.
The McCormick Fajitas Seasoning really gave the Fajitas a kick. Two thumbs up for that!

I think my out-of-wack hormone levels create cravings.

Minus the tortillas, it’s actually a very chinese dish. It’s like the beef stir-fry that I love.
For this dish, I think frozen veg wont do justice. Thought I use frozen veg at times haha.. Get fresh capsicums and it will do wonders to it. I would enjoy it slowly with a pair of chopsticks and eat them strips by strips :-p

[…] So much for Mexican food and I. Guess I’d be sticking to just my Flat Fajitas or my Chinese home-cooked food for a while. Share and Enjoy:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. […]
