SHRIMP FAJITAS WITH PEPPERS AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine lime zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, the adobo sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil and half the garlic. Reserve 2 tablespoons marinade.
• Season shrimp with salt and pepper and place in a resealable bag. Pour in marinade and seal bag. Move shrimp around to coat well, place bag in a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Flip bag over periodically to redistribute marinade.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add onions and cook, stirring often, until they soften and begin to color, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and chile and cook, stirring often, until peppers begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in zucchini and corn, and turn heat to medium. Add remaining garlic, cumin and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and peppers are nicely seared, softened and beginning to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour in reserved 2 tablespoons marinade and scrape bottom of pan with wooden spoon to deglaze. Stir in half the cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat but keep warm.
• Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in the oven, or wrap in a towel and warm in a steamer or in the microwave.
• Transfer shrimp, with marinade, to a bowl. Remove shrimp from marinade and blot briefly on paper towels. Reserve marinade.
• Arrange lettuce on a platter. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, or a wok. Add shrimp and let sear; when they begin to turn pink, after about 1 minute, add drained marinade. Cook, stirring, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, transfer shrimp from pan to platter. Turn up heat, reduce liquid in pan by half, and pour over shrimp.
• Arrange vegetables on platter with shrimp, or serve separately. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and serve, with warm tortillas, salsa and crumbled queso fresco.

FAJITA BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• If you can not find 3 different colors of peppers, use what you can find, as long as they're sweet peppers.
• Wash and remove the core and seeds from peppers; slice peppers lengthwise into 1/2" wide strips; if you cut them too narrow, they'll go limp before they brown.
• Heat a large heavy bottomed pot for several minutes over high heat; (I use my dutch oven).
• Add oil, swirl to coat bottom of pot.
• Add garlic, then peppers.
• Keep the heat high and stir frequently with a wooden spoon-a spatter-screen is helpful to keep oil contained while it cooks- it should sizzle and snap as it cooks or the heat is too low.
• You want the peppers' skins to get brown patches;cook until tender-crisp.
• Sprinkle with salt, stir and serve.

CHICKEN AND BELL PEPPER FAJITAS

Steps:

• Using meat mallet, lightly pound chicken between sheets of waxed paper to thickness of 1/2 inch. Mix 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper in large glass baking dish. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil. Heat in oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Turn oven off. Leave tortillas in oven.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté 3 minutes. Add bell peppers and sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to large bowl and tent with foil to keep warm. Do not clean skillet.
• Heat 1 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Add chicken to skillet and sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Cut chicken into 1-inch-wide strips. Combine with vegetables. Divide vegetable and chicken mixture among plates. Serve passing tortillas, Chipotle Pico de Gallo and sour cream separately.

BELL PEPPER AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a 9-inch non-stick skillet cook the onion, the zucchini, and the peppers with salt and black pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
• In a bowl whisk together the eggs, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan and the parsley (or cilantro), add the vegetable mixture, and stir the mixture until it is combined well.
• In the skillet heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking, pour in the egg mixture, distributing the vegetables evenly, and cook the frittata, without stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edge is set but the center is still soft.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan over the top.
• (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Broil the frittata under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is golden, let it cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, and run a knife around the edge.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving plate, cut it into wedges, and serve it warm or at room temperature.
• Enjoy!
