Yum, Yummy, YUM! I love Los Hermanos & I always get the same thing...Chicken Fajitas. MMM! Now that we live even further away and I'm trying to cook more I decided to pull out this old recipe. Many years ago I got this recipe from Chad's brother when he worked at Los Hermanos...yeah I had a good source! :) I tried these, only once - hard to believe but they were DISGUSTING! I mean really gross. I didn't figure out that I had used turkey instead of chicken until after we tasted these...opps...a mistake you don't want to make. Well, you know how it is when you eat something that is gross or you get sick after you eat it - you really don't want to eat it again for a long time if ever? That is what happened with this recipe. I put it away, never to been seen again...until today. The verdict...absolutely delicious!
Put the following in a blender:
juice of 2 Limes
juice of 3 Lemons
*Cook's note - if using a lemon/lime press cut back 1 each
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic (I used garlic powder - I think I'll use minced garlic next time)
1 tsp. Red Pepper
3 Bay Leaves
1/2 C. Vinegar
1/2 C. Olive Oil
Blend.
Cut into strips:
3-4 Chicken breasts (depends on size) or tenders work too
1 thick Steak (I like Costco's New York or Top Sirloin)
Sometimes I also use a couple hand fulls of shrimp if I have it
1 green pepper
about 1/2 of a red onion
Put together (I leave the chicken & steak separate) and chill for a few hours or cook immediately.
Put this into small tortillas and enjoy with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, rice, beans, what ever you like.
