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.

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.

I've enjoyed cooking since I was a girl growing up in the Southwest. When friends call to ask me for new recipes to try, I suggest these flavorful fajitas. It's wonderful to put the beef in the slow cooker before church and come home to a hot delicious main dish. -Janie Reitz, Rochester, Minnesota

SAUSAGE, ONION AND PEPPER FAJITA SANDWICH



Sausage, Onion and Pepper Fajita Sandwich image

I LOVE both fajitas and smoked sausage, so this combination was a real hit with me. The Crew and I enjoyed this on a hoagie roll, but we can't wait to try it as a wrap, too!

Provided by Monica H

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 - 18 oz smoked sausage (2 or 3 links)
3 small yellow onions
1 green bell pepper
1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper
1 bunch chives (about 4 stalks)
handful fresh spinach
1/4 c olive oil
1/3 c water
2 Tbsp flour or cornstarch
1 pkg fajita seasoning
5 long individual bread rolls / buns

Steps:

  • 1. Heat olive oil in pan.
  • 2. Slice up onions and peppers into thin strips. Add to pan, sautee until tender, stirring every few minutes. Cover pan to keep moisture in and to keep veggies tender.
  • 3. Slice sausage into smaller pieces about 3 or 4 inches long. Add to sautee pan. (If you slice sausage "julienne" style, it makes it easier to eat out of the bun later on!)
  • 4. Chop chives, add to pan.
  • 5. Add water and fajita seasoning to pan. Stir well, cover and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • 6. Chop spinach, add to pan. At this point, you will see if you need more water. It is good to have water simmering at the bottom of the pan. Add more water if need to, then add the cornstarch/flour. Mix well to form thick sauce, adding more water / flour / cornstarch, if needed. Put cover back on and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  • 7. I like to arrange my bread rolls on top of the pan cover to warm them up that way. After the last 5 minute simmer, dish is done. Let sit for a few minutes and serve on warm bread. :)

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ pounds beef skirt steak, cut across the grain into 1/2-inch strips
1 yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch strips
3 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed

Steps:

  • Whisk lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, olive oil, garlic, and cumin together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak, onion, and red bell peppers; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Remove steak, onion, and peppers from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until oil shimmers. Cook and stir steak in hot oil until browned on all sides and still pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Heat remaining oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and peppers in hot oil until just tender but still crisp to the bite, 5 to 6 minutes. Return meat to skillet; cook and stir until heated through.
