Self Expression through Fajitas

Chicken fajitas with white rice & red beans.


Fajitas are so simple to make because only three things actually need to be cooked: the chicken, the rice and the beans. It gets even easier when you use the boil-a-bag rice! Fajitas are actually a fun way to express yourself based on what you choose to put inside them. You can make them spicy, super cheesy, plain, topped with everything you've got, or anything in between. I personally like to put chicken, cheese, lettuce, salsa and guacamole in mine, and sometimes I put the rice and beans in the fajita, but like I said, what you do with your fajita is entirely your choice.


Ingredients:
Chicken
Adobo
White rice
Red Goya beans
1 packet of sazón
Sofrito
Tomato paste
1 tbs vegetable oil
Tortillas
Toppings (cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pepper, hot sauce, salsa, guacamole, sour cream...literally whatever you want)

Here's how it's done:
• In a medium pot, heat 1 tbs of oil on low flame for 15 seconds.
• Add 1 packet of sazón, then fill packet with hot water & add that to pan.
• Add 3-4 spoonfuls of Sofrito.
• Add 2-3 spoonfuls of tomato paste.
• Let it all simmer for 15-20 seconds.
• Strain beans before adding them to pot.
• Fill bean can halfway with water & add to pot.
• Raise flame & boil.
• Once it boils, lower the flame and let simmer, stirring occasionally until ready to serve.


Meanwhile:
• In a small pot, boil water for rice. Once water is boiling, put bag of rice in the pot. Remove the rice when the water boils again (about 10 minutes).
• While making the rice, start cooking the chicken.
• Put either Pam or butter in pan, season chicken with Adobo while it cooks.
• Make sure chicken is fully cooked, cut into strips and it's ready for your fajitas!


Load up your fajitas with the chicken and whatever toppings you see fit. You can even throw the rice and beans in there if you want! Roll it up and enjoy :)
