Easy as Uno Dos Tres!

I read an article the other day dissing Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Meals. Ya ya her recipes suck and ya ya she never includes prep time in those "30 minutes". How can you hate a lady that coined the terms "YUM-O" and "EVOO"?? To me her voice sounds like a toned down version of Fran Drescher...just take out the high pitch and you got that raspy Rachael Ray voice, anyone agree?

Anyway, I've created a recipe that really only takes 30 minutes. And if your eating habits are anything like mine that includes the time it takes to eat it too. :)

Seriously you don't need much--

Not pictured: Steak (Rib Eye is delicious and juicy, flank or skirt could work well too) and Salsa Fresca (found in the refrigerated section, in a plastic container).

I marinated the steak in this great marinade I got from Feast From The East called, Onion Soyette. I walked in one day on my lunch break and ordered my favorite chinese chicken salad (best in town). While I was being rung up the cashier offered me a bottle of their new dressing/ marinade to take home and try. I mean, I know my image screams FOOD BLOGGER but really, how did he know I was interested in cooking and would be the perfect candidate to try their new dressing?? Either way, I was stoked!

After grilling off my steak and sautéing the typical fajita vegetables that took all of 10 minutes, I constructed my fajita making assembly line!

Why yes, those are microphone tongs...funny you should ask. I like to sing while I cook. I might know how to cook but singing is not my strong suit. I like to think that they balance each other out. So, for Chanukah Jesse got me a great addition to my drawer full of useful kitchen gadgets.

I layered my fajitacos (I know you love the name) as follows: lightly grilled tortilla (duh), sautéed fajita veggie mixture, sliced steak cooked medium rare, salsa fresca, cilantro and green onions...YUM. (I prefer to leave out the "O")

  1. I think this was the best entry so far. Very good writing and I like how you talked about my microphone tongs. I hope you were singing La Bamba or something like that with this Mexican meal.
