SERVINGS: 4-6
PREP TIME: 1 HOUR
COOKING TIME: 15-25 MIN
Ingredients
- 0.5 kg boneless Beef/Chicken
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp Fajita Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt & Pepper Medley Grinder
- 1 Julliend red, yellow, or green pepper,
- 1 large Julliend red onion
- 1–2 tablespoons coriander, chopped
- 1/2 cup canned corn
Tomato Rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1/3 cup finely chopped white onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 1/4 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Green chilies whole
Directions
- Begin by slicing the meat into thin strips. Add this to a medium-sized bowl, and season with a Salt and Pepper grinder, fajita seasoning, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In a large heavy saucepan, heat the vegetable oil on medium-high heat. Add the rice, onions and garlic. Sauté until the rice has an opaque color and is fragrant-about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, tomato paste, and salt. Mix well to incorporate evenly. Then add in the whole chillies and coriander sprigs.
- Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until rice is ready, about 25-30 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- In a shallow fry pan, fry the meat with the remaining oil for 5 minutes or until cooked, remove from the pan. Add in vegetables, and cook until tender. Serve the cooked meat, vegetables, and rice on a platter and top with a squeeze of lemon and chopped coriander.
