Every time Tony and I go and visit my padre in Mexico, he makes this fajita dish for us. I'm pretty sure it's just something he concocted one day at random. It's marinated steak, chorizo (a very flavorful pork sausage with many seasonings), mushrooms, poblano peppers, onions, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Top it with sour cream and some homemade guac and YUM! I can't even begin to tell you how much flavor this dish has, you'll never want regular fajitas again! Mine turned out a little bit spicy because of the type of chorizo I used. If you can find fresh chorizo from a mexican grocery store, BUY IT! You add it to everything and it tastes soo good.. chicken, eggs, you name it! This recipe ended up making 4 servings worth of food. Enough for leftovers the next day!
Ingredients:
- 2-3 marinated steaks (I bought montreal seasoned ribeyes and marinated them in a "Jack Daniel's Mesquite flavor EZ Marinade bag" for 6-8 hours, this marinade was delicious!)
-1 package chorizo (I found this at our commissary near the Bratwurst and sausages, the package I bought had 4-5 tiny sausages in them, some are just 1 big sausage)
- 2 onions, quartered then sliced
-2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced
- 5-7 cloves of garlic
-8 oz canned mushrooms, drained
-dash of Worcestershire sauce
-tortillas
-sour cream & Guacamole (optional)
Directions:
-Grill marinated steaks just enough to brown/sear them on each side. You don't want them cooked thoroughly or else they will end up overcooked at the end. Set steaks aside. (You could also pan sear them using a large skillet if you don't have access to a grill)
- Peel the casing off of the chorizo, and cook in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. (Make sure it's ground up with a spoon like you would do with hamburger meat.) Once cooked thoroughly set aside.
-Drain some of the chorizo grease then add in onion, peppers, garlic, and mushrooms to same skillet and sautee over medium heat until nice and soft. While veggies are sauteeing, dice up your steaks into tiny bite-sized pieces.
-Add chorizo to skillet and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-Add diced steak to skillet, 5-6 shakes of Worcestershire sauce, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes. This is where your steak will finish cooking, it should be nice and juice by the time it's done, not overcooked. I made that mistake the first time and overcooked it, turned out too dry haha.
-Add fajita mix into a tortilla and top with sour cream and guac. Dig in!!
