Fajitas, Guacamole, Sausage Queso, and Pico de Gallo

I love fajitas because you can make them as simple and cheap, or as expensive and bountiful as you want!

Chicken and Steak Fajitas:
1 lb chicken
1 lb skirt steak
Fajita Seasoning
Lime
Onion
Green, Yellow, Red, Orange Bell peppers (whatever you want, the yellow and orange are sweeter)
Garlic
Butter
Foil if you grill 'em
Olive Oil
Tortillas
Cheese (whatever kind you want)
Sour cream
Refried Beans
Salsa or Pico (recipe to follow)

Some of these are obviously how you like them, you can add more or take away, up to you! Season the chicken and steak with fajita seasoning and a little lime juice, and throw on the grill! If you wanna do it stove top, you can put them in a pan separated because steak will be ready before chicken, season with fajita seasoning, throw in a little bit of oil and butter and lime juice and cook in the pan over medium ..first cover, then cook a bit uncovered to brown it up.

In another pan saute peppers and onion and a clove of garlic minced all together in butter and a bit of oil, add some salt to taste and sweat them until soft.

In a tortilla you can add your sour cream, some refried beans (heated), top with your meat, and peppers, throw on some cheese if you want, maybe even squeeze a lil more lime juice if you like the citrus flavor, top with salsa or pico, wrap it up and EAT! :)


Missy's Guacamole:
5 large avocados
salt
pepper
3 limes
garlic powder
onion
cilantro
cayenne
tomato
serrano

Cut avocados in half, take out the seed, scoop out the avocado in a bowl.  Squeeze the 3 limes and mash it all up really good, add diced onion to taste-I do about 1/2 cup, diced tomato 1/2 cup, small diced serrano unseeded, a lot of salt, I would say 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of pepper, sprinkle with cayenne, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or just use fresh garlic minced, about a tablespoon.  I like to add a little bit of medium salsa or pico, about 1/4 cup, then add 1/4 cup cilantro cut up, mix this all together until smooth or as thick as you want, and enjoy! You may feel the urge to add more salt, but don't, your chips have salt on them!


Tanner's Pico De Gallo:
Roma Tomatos
Jalapenos
Cilantro
Limes
Onion
Garlic cloves
Salt
Cumin

Dice up about 4-5 roma tomatoes, 2 jalapenos, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/2 onion, mince 2 garlic cloves and put in a bowl together, mix, squeeze about 2 limes, and season with about 1 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of cumin, and mix! You can make it hotter by adding a serrano, or adjust each seasoning based upon if you like it salty or citrusy, or more onion ect.  This you can play with a little as well :)

Sausage Queso:
Large Velveeta 
Can of Rotell (whatever spice level) 
Hot Sausage (Like Jimmy Dean) 
Cayenne
Milk
Pepper

Melt the Velveeta with 1/4 cup milk, add in the Rotel and stir.  In a pan cook the sausage, when done add to the velveeta bowl and stir.  Sprinkle about a pinch of cayenne and your good to go!
