What's on the menu this evening?

[4bronxbombers]

You don't have to have onions in them...

Don't they usually have peppers too? yuk.

[yankeeschic12324]

They do but you can omit them. When we make them home, we omit whatever we don't like.

Well what do you put in them?

[yankeeschic12324]

Chicken, tomato, lettuce, fajita sauce, cheese....

Chicken, tomato, lettuce, fajita sauce, cheese....

Hmm.....I think I'll try it.

[Jersey Yankee]

I ran out of time, so I just baked some chicken legs and turkey wings, then nuked some frozen alfredo noodles.

Since I generally make a lot of salad, I had some that I'd put aside in the fridge, and that was good also.

[yankeeschic12324]

Hmm.....I think I'll try it.

Lots and lots of cheese

[Jersey Yankee]

Lots and lots of cheese

Jack cheese?

What do you do, just get a big corn tortilla for those things and add stuff? I was at Chipotle's and the same stuff they'd used for a salad, they'd used for a burrito, except I think they added rice.

Sometimes I should just make fast food at home, except it would take much longer.

Jack, extra sharp cheddar, Colby.

Well you'd make the filling first. Chicken and the sauce, mix all the veggies you want in it, and roll them into the tortilla. Ugh I want a fajita now

Yes you can use rice in them too. We've done it a few times using spanish rice and it came out pretty good.

I may try this at home. Right now, I think I make very good salads, use fresh ingredients, but it's always the same things: green or red leaf, romaine, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, avocado, carrots, etc. Yes, I vary it a lot, but I think that adding the burrito thing may help.

I haven't used cheese in awhile (long gaseous story, if you catch my drift), but the fajita sauce, I'll have to see about.

Do you use a large tortilla thing or a small one? Any special way to prepare this? Other than a taco, I'm no good at Mexican food.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I ended up spending the night in the hospital (long story), so when I got home it was just a quick sandwich from Wawa.

The larger tortillas are easier to roll and they hold a little more.
You just sautee the marinated chicken/beef til its almost done. I use a powdered fajita mix (just add some water) and sometimes we'll make a separate batch for my dad and brother since they like it spicier and will add hot sauce to it. You can throw in onions or peppers and let them cook for about 2 minutes. Take it off the stove, and then just roll it into the tortilla- adding whatever veggies you want (you can also throw in sour cream, guacamole and cheese too if desired)
Usually when I use tortillas, I'll set them in a warm frying pan so they get heated. You could use the microwave too if you want. When I have them in a warm frying pan, they get crunchy a little and its delicious!

Thanks, Baby Sis.

I'll have to try this Mexican dish soon.

No problem. Let me know how it works out.
I don't do measurements and recipes...I more or less just wing everything.
I <3 Mexican food!


EDIT:

Thanks again, Linda.

I buy the tortillas in the refrigerator section and make sandwich wraps with them. Sometimes I make scrambled eggs and bacon wraps too.
You can fill then with just about anything.

Yea exactly. IF you can put it in a sandwich, you can put it in a tortilla

I got this!

Hell, Ruben can give you tips on what you can make with tortillas if you really want

[penfold]

You can always make quesedillas (sp?) w/ tortillas. Essentially, it's a Mexican grilled cheese sandwich. Put jalapenos, extra meat, veggies, etc. as you like.

[Trish]

LMAO Burritos, fajitas, I've been know to put hummus on it

HAhaha I know you'd respond! When I come to NY, I will make you some
