Steak Fajitas and Guacamole

Hi everyone! This is my first attempt at a blog, a food blog to be more specific. This is where I'll be sharing things that come from my kitchen. Last night I attempted steak fajitas and guacamole for the first time. Wanna see?

Marinade prep

Here is what I used in my marinade.  

• Lime
• Garlic
• Cilantro
• Various hot sauces
• Tequila (the good stuff, don't cheap out)
• Salt & pepper
• Honey
• Worcestershire sauce
• Chipotle chili powder
• Red pepper flakes
• Ancho chili powder
• Oregano
• Cumin

Zest and juice the lime.

Add all the other goodies and mix.

Hey where did that steak come from? It wasn't on the cutting board. Gnomes. Not all gnomes are bad, sometimes they bring steak. Now cover this with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.

Time to start the guac!

These are the ingredients for the guacamole.

• Onion
• Cilantro 
• Avocado
• Tomato
• Garlic
• Lime juice
• Jalapeno
• Salt & pepper.

Score the avocado and scoop into bowl.

Yes, that's a Roma tomato. I have dainty hands. Now take all that squishy stuff out. It's acidic and sour, and will make your guac soupy.

Much better!

See that candle on my cutting board? It's to keep your eyes from burning and tearing while cutting the onion. Much better than accidentally cutting yourself because you can't see what your doing.

Everything made it into the bowl.

Squishy

Cover with plastic so oxidation doesn't turn you beautiful creation a yucky brown color. Toss in fridge.

Now grab a drink and go take a bubble bath. That's right just walk away. All that yummy stuff needs time to get to know each other.

Now that I'm all nice and relaxed from the bath, time to slice these things.

Taahhh Daahhh!!!

Cook with olive oil over medium-high heat. Don't forget the salt and pepper.

Stir occasionally. MMMMM it smells yummy!!

When it looks like this, it's done.

Remember that steak from earlier? Cook that now.

Moist paper towels + zip lock + tortilla + microwave = good

Warm tortillas, peppers & onions, steak, guacamole, and Greek yogurt. Yes, Greek yogurt. It is healthier, and has a much more subtle flavor that compliments this meal better than sour cream. Trust me on this one.

All together now.

NNNNOOOMMMM
