MEXICAN BEEF STIR-FRY
This is a very unique stir fry, in that it's served on a bed of shredded lettuce instead of over rice! To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-shredded lettuce. I like 2 or more jalapenos, but I like things spicy. If you'd like, you can garnish with salsa, diced avocados, chopped green onions, and sour cream! I like this served hot, but you can serve it cold as a salad....but I really like it hot over the cold lettuce!

Steps:
- Spray skillet with cooking spray and saute green pepper and onion over medium heat until onion is translucent (just a few minutes).
- Add the rest of the ingredients and cook 3-5 minutes. Just spoon into a bowl and top with cheese, avocado, olives, jalepenos, etc. and voila!
- * The leftover tomatoes can be frozen in one or two small tupperware to be used later.
- ** I make it even simpler by using an all-natural taco seasoning (Simply Organic or Trader Joes both make good ones), but you can also mix up your own blend of cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and cayenne (if you like it spicy).
Tips:
- Use a hot wok or large skillet: This will help to ensure that the vegetables and meat cook quickly and evenly.
- Cut the vegetables and meat into uniform pieces: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you do, the vegetables and meat will steam instead of fry.
- Stir-fry the vegetables and meat in batches if necessary: This will help to prevent overcrowding.
- Use a high-quality cooking oil: This will help to prevent the food from sticking to the wok or skillet.
- Season the food to taste: You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately: This will help to ensure that the vegetables and meat are still crispy.
Conclusion:
Mexican stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. With a little planning, you can make a Mexican stir-fry that is sure to please everyone at the table.
