Cajun Chorizo Fajitas
We like to make fajitas for family gatherings, you know that odd time when all the kids show up for a feeding. You can adjust the amount of ingredients for the number of people to feed. The fajita rule of thumb is 4 to 6 ounces of meat per person and 4 tortillas; the rest of the volume is up to you. The recipe below should feed 3 or more people. Fajitas are a very healthy choice for your family as all the ingredients are fresh and it is cooked with very little oil. For a healthy choice with this dish, try to buy fresh, local chorizo sausage.
Ingredients
3 – 4 chorizo sausages
1 green pepper julienned – sliced into strips
1 red pepper julienned
½ onion sliced into strips
10 mls (2tsp) Jerry Lee’s Cajun Spice – you can always add more if you like it really hot
5mls (1tsp) cumin
½ lime
1 package small flour tortillas
125mls salsa
125mls sour cream
125mls guacamole
250mls shredded cheddar – you can mix with other cheese
2 fresh jalapeño peppers sliced
Directions
Split the chorizo length wise and slice into thin half moons, sauté the chorizo in a non-stick skillet with as little oil as possible, it will depend on the chorizo sausage some are much drier then others. Sauté until just done and remove from pan but retain the oil. Add the veg when hot and then add the Cajun spice and cumin, stir and sauté until the veg is just soft but with a bit of crispness. Fold in cooked chorizo and Place on large serving plate squeeze a ½ lime on top and serve immediately. Not spicy enough for you? Then add more Cajun spice or perhaps throw in a couple of sliced jalapeño peppers.
Warm both sides of the tortillas in a skillet, place in foil and keep warm in oven until service.
Place, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, sliced jalapeño peppers and the shredded cheese in dishes, set it all in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves
If you’ve got little ones make a separate batch of veg without so much spice. Make sure you do add some spice and sooner than you know they’ll want to have the regular heat. Maybe add some of their favourite vegetables as well. The kids will have fun “making their own dinner”.
