Freezer Meal: Fajita Filling!

June 16, 2012 by brenda 2 Comments

 

Ok, so first off, I apologize for the terrible photo. It’s late, and the lighting is really bad, and my flash is acting funny–but I SO wanted to share this with you, because it’s easy and yummy! I did not plan on turning this into a freezer meal. It just happened! I made Turkey Fajita Salad for dinner last night and my recipe made twice as much as my family would eat for dinner, so I froze the rest tonight. Wa la! That’s how the best kinds of freezer meals are made! (No planning, no extra cooking time, just having an entire extra meal worth of food to freeze!). Why did I choose turkeyย for fajita salad? It’s not a typical meat used in fajitas, I know. It’s just that turkey cutlets are an inexpensive cut of meat, and I like variety in our week (beef, chicken, pork, seafood, sometimes turkey). That’s why. ๐Ÿ™‚ You can use any type of meat that you choose (beef, chicken, turkey, deer, elk, ostrich–whatever you want!). ๐Ÿ™‚ Ok, now for my awesome recipe!

Freezer Meal: Fajitas!

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs turkey cutlets, cut into strips
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 TB chili powder
  • 1 TB cumin
  • 1 TB honey
  • 4 TB butter or ghee
  • 2 red onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced (wear gloves!)

Method

  1. Option 1:
  2. Combine the turkey, lime juice, garlic cloves, chili powder, cumin and honey in a bowl and let marinate for about 30 min.
  3. Saute the onions and peppers in the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
  4. Add the meat mixture to the pan and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meat is done.
  5. Let the mixture cool down and divide into 2 bpa free plastic bags.
  6. Label & freeze!
  7. To serve: thaw, re-heat in a baking dish in the oven or in a pan on the stove.
  8. Option 2:
  9. Combine everything in a bpa-free plastic bag raw.
  10. Label & freeze.
  11. To serve: thaw completely, cook in a pan on the stove over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, or until the meat is done.

    This sounds amazing! Did want to point out that most of the links on your recipe page do not work.

I'm not a doctor, and I don't have a fancy title. I've got a bachelor's degree in English, a bunch of experience with my own health and the health of my kids, and a whole lot of passion about real food and legitimate research and studies. That said, I have to tell you that you should probably consult with your doctor before following any of the advice that I give. Hopefully you've got a really good doctor who believes in real food and who cares about your long-term health! :) Also, I have to let you know that I've got affiliate links on this site. If you click on them and buy something, there will be no additional cost to you, but I may make a small percentage.
