MMMMM...Fajitas!


Quick and easy. i make this a lot after i get home from the gym bc it's easy to do and full of protein.


Ingredients
• Tortillas (big ones...I used wheat and they cracked a lot. might want to use flour)
• Fajita Meat (my grocery store, HEB, sells it preseasoned/prepackaged, so i just cut it open and grill)
• Avacado
• Onion
• Green Pepper
• Can of Black Beans
• Can of diced tomatoes
• Bag of Uncle Ben's Santa Fe 90 second rice
• Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese and Salsa if desired


Put the Fajita meat on your George Foreman grill (or an outdoor grill if you're feeling adventurous) and cook it up. i like it about medium, so check it for pinkness. While that's cookin, open the beans and warm in a saucepan. Open the rice and stick it in the microwave (but don't cook it yet). Start slicing up onions and peppers and set aside.

Slice up avacado and put into a bowl. Open tomatoes and put into a bowl.

Once the fajita meat is almost to your desired doneness, throw the onions and green peppers on top of it and grill them up. This works great with a George Foreman/Clamshell type grill. Not sure the best way to do it if you're using an outdoor grill.... might need to put them on earlier. Once you do that, turn on the rice for 90 seconds.

When it's all done (i like my veggies a little charred, so i leave them on till they're striped) plate it up. Tortilla, spread on sour cream, meat, peppers/onions, tomatoes, avacado, sprinkle with cheese. My BF likes the beans and rice right on the fajita, i prefer it to the side. Your choice.

Put chips and salsa on the table, and Voila, you have dinner.

This takes me right at 30 min to do. Eat your heart out Rachael Ray! :)
