Fabulous Fajitas

Fabulous Fajitas

Ingredients:

2 lb flank steak OR/and 2 lb boneless skinless chicken
1, 16 oz bottle Italian dressing
4 oz vinegar
4 oz lemon juice [does not have to be fresh]
1 bag frozen bell peppers
1 medium sized onion, julienned
1 package tortillas

Instructions:

1. Tenderize your meat. To do so, lay on a cutting board. If you have a mallet tenderizer, you will need to mash until the meat is even and slightly pierced. If you have a needle tenderizer, 3-4 passes will suffice
2. In a gallon Ziploc bag, mix dressing, lemon juice and vinegar. Add meat
3. Marinate for at least 3-4 hours (overnight is OK. If you are time crunched, no less than 1 hour)
3. Preheat oven to 425°F
4. Lay meat on a baking sheet. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes (or until done)
5. While meat is cooking, start veggies. If you want your vegetables together, cook the onions until translucent, then add frozen peppers. If you want them separate, in another pan, start cooking the peppers right before the onions are done. For both- preheat a saute pan over medium heat with enough vegetable oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan (for a 12 inch saute pan, this will be roughly 2 tablespoons of oil). DO NOT USE OLIVE OIL! Cook until they are done to your liking. For caramelized onions, use butter in the pan instead of vegetable oil.
6. Serve on tortillas with anything else you want (cheese, sour cream, Pico De Gallo, Guacamole, ect.)
