Fajita Show Recipe & Crash Course for Dummies

[cookin to the top]

I have heard nothing but good things about the fajita shows...where do we get the recipe? (If you have it, would you please post it? (How do you do the show? Which tools does it involve, for which steps?) Would you please give me a crash course (for dummies...LOL)? I was aiming for the santouko knife w/ the "in the bag" rewards, but now I'm rethinking it- that dcb sounds amazing! TIA!

Re: FajitasHere is my file- it has the recipe, product used, and also guacamole and salas process. Tonight, I am also incorporating the grill pan and press for the extra chicken.

Re: FajitasI finally made this last night for my DH. They were really good BUT; there was quite a bit of liquid in the bottom from the onions & peppers. Have others had this? Do you usually drain the liquid before serving?

Re: FajitasUse the bamboo tongs for serving -- they pick up the "chunks" and leave the liquid.

Re: FajitasI saw a recipe for pork loin fajitas in the DCB on CC. How does it compare to the chicken fajitas? I'm doing the pork loin tomorrow!

Re: FajitasHere is the recipe that I have used. A little different than the above recipes.
They are Fabulous!!!!!!

I love the idea of using the Rice cooker to warm the tortillas.

ENJOY!!!!!



Fast, Fabulous Fajitas (made in Deep Covered Baker)

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 yellow or white onion
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 pkg. (1 ½ lbs.) chicken tenderloins (NOT breaded); thawed
2 tsp. Chipotle seasoning
1 block cheddar cheese
1 8 oz. sour cream
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 pkg. 6-inch flour tortillas

Use Garlic Infused Canola Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil and brush (using the Silicone Pastry Brush) in the bottom of the baker and slightly up the sides.

Using the Ultimate Mandolin, slice 1 med. onion and put in the bottom of baker.
COARSELY chop the red and green bell peppers into LARGE pieces; place in baker over onions.

Place chicken tenders on top of pepper pieces.
Generously sprinkle Chipolata Rub over chicken, covering them.

Put the lid on the Deep Covered Baker and put in the Microwave for 15 minutes. (Depending on the microwave you use, it may take a little longer, just check it and make sure the chicken temperature reads on the Pocket Thermometer (R) done for Chicken!

While it is in the Microwave, grate the block of cheese with the Ultimate Mandolin.
Place tortillas in Rice Cooker Plus and heat for 1 minute.
Use the Medium Stainless Steel Scoop and put sour cream in the Easy Accent Decorator.
Snip fresh Cilantro with Kitchen Shears in one of the Prep Bowls.

When the timer goes off, you take the Deep Covered Baker out of the Microwave. Remover lid carefully, HOT steam!!!
Take the Salad Choppers and cut up all the peppers, onion and chicken in the Deep Covered Baker!
Use the Chef Tongs to serve with and squeeze the juice out with them!
Take a flour tortilla, top with chicken/onion/pepper mixture, and top with cheese, sour cream, and cilantro!

YUM!!

Re: FajitasI'm doing this at a show Saturday for the first time... YAH!!!
I am doing a test run this Friday night with the family. I am going to try using the mix and chop on the chicken once its cooked. Trying to work the buy the baker get the mix and chop free angle (Sept guest special) I have chopped chicken with it before and it works great but I have never tried using the salad choppers. So I plan to do half and half and decide which to demo...

Anyone tried this before with the mix and chop?

Haven't tried it with this recipe, but I use the mix n chop for chopping chicken in the 12" skillet for Power Cooking Shows. It works great for that, so I think it would work great for you too!

Re: FajitasI used the mix n chop to shred chicken I poached in the microcooker last week. It worked great! I can't see that the chicken cooked in the DCB would be so different in texture that it wouldn't work.

 

[pamperedtracy]

Re: FajitasAnd I have never used the mix n chop for the recipe. The Salad Choppers work great.

I hardly ever sell any salad choppers, so they worked great to cut everything up.

I have now sold a couple more using this recipe when people see how they work for things other than salad.

I will have to experiment with the mix n chop.

I have never used the MNC for CHICKEN! What an obvious idea! LOL

UpdateI just made them for the first time... they got two thumbs up from everyone in the Locke household! I can't wait to demo this Saturday night at my show.....
I did try the mix and chop but liked the salad choppers more!
