My favorite dinner is simply Fajitas:
First I cut 2 yellow squash and 2 zuccini(if inclined, also add green/yellow peppers, mushrooms, tomato wedges) into 1/2ish strips into a frying pan w/ a tad of butter and 1/2 cup of water, cover and simmer for 5-8 min. Meanwhile slice a sweet onion and mince 3-8 fresh garlic cloves and a handfull of fresh cilantro. Carmalize onions and most of the garlic in a seperate pan. Once squash and onions are cooked, mix together and fry slightly, near the end add the rest of the garlic and most of the cilantro. Keep warming on the stove. Squeeze 1/2 fresh lime over top. Sometmes I will also get a 1/2 pound of already fresh steamed shrimp. Peel and put into the previous onion pan to keep warming adding a bit of onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice. (My BF, likes the shrimp, I do not)
At this point I make the guacomole. 2 fresh advacodos, spooned into a bowl. Add minced garlic and cilanto, minced onion, Lime juice and a bit of chili powder or cummin if you have it on hand. Mash until desired consistancy. I like small bits of advacado still left. Refrigerate for 10 min or feezer for 5 min.
Shred fresh lettuce into a bowl, cube fresh tomato into a seperate bowl(adding a little garlic, cilantro and onion) Warm re-fried beans (canned for simplicity) and tortias.
Salsa- Sometimes I buy Picante, or I cut up fresh tomatoes and onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and chop it all together in my lil` chopper thing and chill.
Set table with sour cream, Jack/chedder cheese, salsa, guacomole, shredded lettuce, tomato mix, hot squash/onion mixture, hot shrimp mixture, warmed beans and tortias. Wrap em` up and Yummy!
BTW, does anyone else cook in a Wok? Fried rice, steamed vegetables etc? I like using my Wok, but it can be alot of clean up, from the prep work.
