Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 37

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 white onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
6 button mushrooms, sliced
6 green onions, sliced
1 carrot, cut into julienne strips
Salt
Black pepper
Soy sauce
1/2 pound chicken breast strips
1/2 pound skirt steak
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 pound Cajun sausage
Assorted chiles (recommended: habanero, pasilla, Anaheim, jalapeno), roasted
1 lime, juiced
Guacamole, recipe follows
Salsa, recipe follows
4 avocados, mashed
1 tomato, diced
1 white onion, diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
2 teaspoons finely grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon hot sauce
Salt
Pepper
4 tomatoes
2 white onions
2 chiles (recommended: habanero, pasilla, Anaheim, yellow, or jalapeno), roasted
Olive oil
Black pepper
Chili powder
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Cumin
Garlic salt

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetables, season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce, to taste, and saute until tender yet still crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and reserve.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken, steak, shrimp, and sausage; it is best to select a different area of the grill for each, as they all have very different cooking times. As each is cooked through, remove from the grill, cut into strips, and reserve.
  • Heat the same large skillet until very hot and return the vegetables to the pan. Layer the assorted roasted chiles on top and then lay the meat on top of the chiles. Add the lime juice for that famous fajita sizzle and serve immediately with the Guacamole and Salsa.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Preheat a grill to high.
  • Coat the tomatoes, onions, and chiles in olive oil, black pepper, and chili powder, to taste. Blacken vegetables on the grill. Remove from the heat and then dice when cool enough to handle. Mix together in a bowl with the lime juice and cilantro. Season, to taste, with cumin, garlic salt, and additional pepper and chili powder.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1/4 cup torn fresh cilantro
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
6 garlic cloves, smashed
2 jalapenos, seeded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

SHEET PAN SHRIMP FAJITAS



Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas image

This recipe is sponsored by Target. Let the oven and broiler do the heavy lifting for this super-simple weeknight dinner. Chili powder and cumin give lots of warm spice to bell peppers, onions and shrimp while just a few minutes under the broiler lends a lovely smokiness. Served with warm tortillas and a 3-minute homemade salsa, this is a mostly hands-off meal that's a real crowd-pleaser.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 bell peppers, assorted colors, stemmed, seeded and cut into strips
2 medium red onions, halved and sliced vertically
2 jalapeños, 1 sliced into matchsticks, 1 coarsely chopped
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons chili powder
3 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Half 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1/2 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 pound frozen large tail-off, peeled and deveined raw shrimp, such as Good & Gather, thawed
Warm corn tortillas, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine the bell peppers, red onions and sliced jalapeño. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the oil, 2 teaspoons of the chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cumin. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss well, then spread in an even layer. Roast the vegetables until slightly softened and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the tomatoes, yellow onion, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, the coarsely chopped jalapeño, 1 teaspoon of the chili powder and 1 teaspoon of the cumin and process until nearly smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the cilantro and pulse until very finely chopped. Season the salsa with salt and pepper, then transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Remove the vegetables from the oven. Turn the oven to broil and position a rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source.
  • Combine the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a medium bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss well. Scatter the shrimp over the vegetables and broil until the shrimp are just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the vegetables and shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 cup cilantro. Serve with warm corn tortillas and the salsa.

SPICY SHRIMP FAJITAS



Spicy Shrimp Fajitas image

These shrimp fajitas are a great weeknight dish. Quick, easy, and delicious. If you prefer something milder, omit the chipotle peppers - but trust me - they really add some kick! I serve these with black or refried beans on the side. Very yummy. Serve with avocado, sour cream, and shredded Cheddar cheese if you like.
