SAUSAGE FAJITAS



Sausage Fajitas image

Sizzling fajitas are such a quick weeknight meal. I like to switch up the usual chicken or beef strips with sliced chicken sausage because it's already loaded with flavor and all you have to do is warm it in the oven! A spicy one, like jalapeño chicken sausage, adds a little heat, but green chile, garlic or roasted red pepper chicken sausage would all work well here, too.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces fully-cooked chicken sausages, such as jalapeño flavor
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 yellow onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes, juiced
Eight 6-inch corn or flour tortillas
Guacamole, salsa, sour cream and chopped cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • Cut the sausage into thin slices on the diagonal (1/4 to 3/8 inch thick). Place on the prepared sheet pan and broil according to the package directions (or about 9 minutes) until warmed through.
  • Meanwhile, heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large skillet over medium-high heat then add the oil. Add the onions and peppers. Season with the chili powder, cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peppers are slightly softened and charred, 7 to 9 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze, then stir. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the sausage and lime juice and stir to combine.
  • To warm the tortillas, turn a gas burner on medium-low heat or let a heavy skillet get very hot over medium-low heat. Place a tortilla on the flame or skillet and let char for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and wrap in a clean kitchen towel as you go to keep them warm until serving.
  • Serve the sausage, onion and pepper mix in the warmed tortillas and top with guacamole, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the grill or grill pan
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning, such as Good & Gather™ Chili Lime Seasoning Blend
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 limes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 8-ounce New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick, such as Good & Gather™ USDA Choice New York Strip Steak
3 bell peppers (about 1 1/2 pounds), stemmed, seeded and sliced 1/2 inch thick, such as Good & Gather™ Tri-Colored Bell Peppers
1 medium onion (about 8 ounces), halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
Salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on one side of a gas grill, preheat the grill to high and lightly oil the grates. Alternatively, lightly oil a large grill pan and preheat over high heat and preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat.
  • Mix the oil, 2 tablespoons chili-lime seasoning, garlic, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a large bowl. Place the steaks on a plate and spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture on top, flipping so that both sides are nicely coated, spooning any marinade on the plate back onto the meat. Refrigerate covered for 15 minutes and up to 2 hours if time allows.
  • Put the peppers and onions in the large bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat evenly.
  • Place the steaks on the open side of the grill or on the grill pan and put the vegetables and any oil left in the bowl in the cast-iron skillet.
  • Cook the steaks, flipping once halfway through, until cooked through, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in some spots, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the butter and remaining 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning in a small bowl. Wrap the tortillas loosely in foil and grill until warm, about 1 minute per side.
  • Thinly slice the steaks and add to the skillet with the vegetables. Top with the butter and quickly stir until melted and incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Serve the steak and vegetables with the tortillas, salsa and lime wedges.
