"Fancy" Fajitas

Not all meals need to be complicated, some just need some doctoring to make them great! A few weeks back, my wife and I had fajitas on the menu, this would usually consist of frying up some chicken or beef along with a few veggies and then adding in a trusty Ole El Paso Fajita Kit. I was feeling inventive that night so I threw in a few extra ingredients and it turned out to be a delicious combination.

Ingredients

2 top round steaks (or chicken), sliced thin
1 Bell Pepper, sliced thin
1 Onion, sliced thin
1 Ole El Paso Fajita Kit
1/2 cup of Dry Red Wine
Salt 
Pepper
3 tbsp Olive Oil









Directions

1. Slice up the beef/chicken, and the onion and bell pepper
2. In a deep pan, add 2 tbsp of oil and set to medium heat
3. Add Onions, along with a sprinkle of salt and cook for 4 minutes
4. Add Bell Peppers, and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Remove veggies from the pan.
5. Add 1 tbsp of oil, bring heat to medium-high and add small portions of the meat at a time (avoid crowning), the meat should brown fast and you do not want to cook too long. Be sure to get color on both sides.
6. Remove meat from pan, and add 1/2 cup of Dry Red Wine to deglaze the pan. Be sure to mix around and scrape the pan as the wine comes to a boil. Continue boiling and stirring for 1-2 minutes, lower back to medium-low.
7. Add the veggies back to the wine reduction, stir well. Next, add the meat and meat juices back to the same pan. 
8. Using the package of seasoning (from kit), add small amounts of seasoning and mix well. Continue until all seasoning is added. 
9. Over medium heat in a small frying pan, heat your tortillas individually, flip after 30 seconds, each should take only about a minute.
10. Allow meat, veggies and sauce to cook for 1-2 minutes and your ready to serve!

If using chicken be sure to check to assure the meat is fully cooked! If you eat under cooked chicken, you're gonna have a bad time!
