Seasoned Fajita meat can be a great budget stretcher and much more versatile then just using in a taco. As it is already seasoned, a lot of work is done for you. Some examples of what you can are as follows
· Super Nachos a great family pleaser and wonderful for the those busy nights or when you are looking for something not too heavy on a hot day.
o 1 package of seasoned Beef or Chicken Fajita meat cooked at 350 for 40 – 50 minutes then chopped roughly
o 1 large bag of nacho chips
o 2 cans of Nacho Cheese Sauce (looks better then shredded cheese but you can use it if you prefer.)
o 1 large can of refried beans heated and thinned with a little water for a smoother consistency and it looks better on the nachos
o Assorted condiments such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, and sour cream; in fact without the last two condiments this is a very money saving meal
o I forgot to take a picture so found this one on the web fairly close to what it looked like.
· Chalupas are the same thing only using pre-made chalupa shells
· Fettuccine Alfredo Fajita – past is always a great meal stretcher and the Alfredo sauce balances the spices in the fajita nicely. This recipe fed 8 people
o 1 package of Chicken Fajitas baked and sliced ½ inch thick
o 2 bottles of Alfredo sauce heated then add fajita meat, simmer lightly for 10 minutes
o 1 large package of fettuccine noodles cooked to al dente if it is too soft it will not hold the sauce well (can be served over hot biscuits or white rice)
o Serve with garlic toast
o
· Chicken Fajita Tenders - someone gave us a lot of bags of plain cornflakes and lets face it unless it is covered in sugar kids are not interested in boring cornflakes so now what. well we had some seasoned chicken fajitas and decided what about chicken tenders. No need to season anything so simple and the kids loved them.
o 1 package of Chicken Fajitas sliced thick
o 3 eggs beaten
o 1 package of corn flakes crushed
o Dip chicken in eggs then corn flakes being careful to press firmly to ensure even coverage. There is no need to season the corn flakes as the chicken has enough spices
o Lay in baking dish coated with non stick spray
o Bake at 350 for 50 – 60 minutes until runs clear
o you can make gravy if you wish but ranch dressing works really well
