Every Day Should be Fajita Day!

I can’t believe I almost missed it! National Fajita Day is every August 18th but seriously, at our house we could eat that sizzling multi functional meal several times a week!
I love being able to tuck the hot onions, bell peppers and marinated chicken or beef into a tortilla of putting the fajita filling right onto a bed of crisp lettuce.

In fact, I have been known to cut up left over fajita filling and toss it in scrambled eggs for a breakfast burrito. You just can’t go wrong when you start out with fresh ingredients. With Red, yellow, orange, and green peppers, this dish is just as pretty as it is tasty!

Have you been to a Mexican restaurant where they bring the fajitas out in a hot skillet? You can hear the popping and smell the sizzling aroma before they even put it in the center of the table. It is just so good that you can’t stop eating it.

Make this ahead for your Nacho or Salad bar lunch or dinner. You might be surprised what a hit it is, and with minimal clean up you can spend more time dancing the Flamenco and less time doing dishes! So get your sizzle on.

This day only happens once a year.. but if you make it all through the rest of the year, well let’s just say Viva La Fajita!

Here is what Marla said about the recipe she shared with Taste Of Home.

The first time I made these beef fajitas, my family couldn’t get enough. The next time I had to make a double batch so everyone had enough. This is a favorite evening meal for me because it fixes up quick. It would be a good one for entertaining, too—the avocados add a nice dash of color. —

Surf’s Up DUDE! But thankfully you don’t need to head to the beach to Pick Up a Platter of these!

I had never really heard of fish tacos until I moved to the San Diego area. In fact, I thought someone was kidding the first time they were talking about it.

Soon I realized that not only were a huge deal, but people rated places to eat based on their fish tacos. It was almost like the “Hang Ten” version of the classic kids story The Three Bears. ” This taco is too soft, this taco is too hard. THIS taco is just right!”

So what makes a great fish taco? It is in the cooking of the fish and fresh ingredients. The thin spicy batter helps to seal in the juice.

The fresh bold flavors of the salsa add to the tangy mixture creating what some would call the ultimate Barrel. (That is Surf Lingo for a Great Wave.) Like I would really know from experience since one of my biggest fears is being eaten by a shark. Besides, who is going to stay on the beach and watch our chairs and towels!

Even if you aren’t planning to hit the waves anytime soon, you can still fix these for your luau. A platter of these and toss some fine sand in your hair and it will feel like you just stepped off the beach to one of the little hole in the wall Taco stands.

Here is what Tatyana has to say about her sea inspired recipe.

These fish tacos with home-made guacamole and mango salsa will rock your world! Literally, the BEST fish tacos you’ll ever have! I’ve been using this fish taco recipe for years and it never gets old! The simple mango salsa with tomato, cilantro and lime is the perfect topping for these tacos!

Quick Tip: If you want to buy pre-made guacamole go ahead. Sometimes it is hard to find avocados that are perfectly ripe when you are having a craving for this meal. No shame in purchasing it.
