Continue trimming and remove any bones... take any of the trimmings and cook those bad boys up for any dogs you may have... only beef bones though... |
Once you have finished trimming your meat of choice it should look something like this... |
Slice that beautiful piece of meat into any thickness you would like... I usually cut the steak into half inch to an inch thick slices... |
Now start cooking your steak... You don't want too cook it all the way quite yet... just till it is about half way to desired doneness... |
Now once your meat is cooked about half way add the garlic... mmmm garlic!!!! |
This here is chili powder... it adds a nice little kick and if you buy the good stuff it also has nice peppery flavor too it too... |
Although I added fresh garlic I also use powdered garlic... be liberal if you are using supermarket packaged garlic powder and use less if you are using a higher quality powder... |
And of course cumin... this spice also has a smokiness to it but can be quite spicy if too much is used... we like our Tex-Mex spicy so I used a lot... |
Now this part is optional... I like to add a little bit of left over coffee to my south of the border foods... it adds a nice layer of flavor... and keep in mind the little bit part... coffee has a strong flavor of its own... |
Meanwhile, I, Theron, slice up some bell peppers. Any kind you like. We used green and some sort of yellowish white one. Start by cutting it in half and taking out the seeds and membrane. |
Then cut it into thin strips. |
And here is the final product, with the green bell peppers on the left and the strange hybrid on the right |
And here we added the peppers in with the onions that we also sliced thin. |
Now we add the peppers and onion to the fajita concoction. |
Mix in the veggies and add some water... not a whole lot... just about a half cup... |
Then cover it and let it simmer till the veggies are tender... it shouldn't take any more than ten minutes... |
And voila... You have yourself a nice skillet filled with delicious nummy num nontraditional fajitas... |
Now heat up some tortillas by any means necessary... normally I use corn tortillas for almost anything Tex-Mex that isn't a burrito or enchilada or anything real big but today we used flour... first of all because they were on hand and also because the corn wouldn't be able to hold itself together (awesome pun hopefully someone will get it since Theron obviously did not) thanks to the sauciness of the fajitas... |
