I know... we eat a LOT of fajita-type stuff around here. What can I say? I live in South Texas... I am inspired. When the sun is shining, the tunes are playing, I'm feeling fried (literally, not "stressed") from playing in the backyard so much, and the soft, thick air is settling down after a day of blowing... I see on my menu that I planned to do "something" with a big slab of cheap steak, and I think "fajitas." And it's a winner, every time.

Tonight it was fajita salad. Fresh, local (Bibb, I think??) lettuce, dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt, topped with shredded green (local, once again) cabbage that was dressed with white vinegar, agave, and salt, then some sliced avocado with lime juice, the grilled steak, and then grilled onions, red bell pepper, and some sort of hot green pepper. Those were tossed with bacon fat after slicing and prior to grilling.
It was, of COURSE, delicious. Oh... and that's a grilled zucchini at the bottom there. It was good, too.
Last night I forgot to post... we had stir-fry... it was yummy, but not all that special.

It was leftover grilled steak, from Naughty Friday, with onions, a mix of lemongrass (one stalk, finely-minced), ginger (small bit grated with a micro-plane) and 2 cloves minced garlic, tamari, fish sauce, and chicken stock. I tossed in some spinach at the very end, to wilt. And we served it over rice.
If anyone wants an actual recipe... just ask. I think I'll remember what I loosely based it upon.
