Wet Fajitas


Sometimes when I come home at night, I just look in the fridge and throw together some sort of meal based on what I have. Well, this was one of those nights.  I had a small sort of thick round steak thawed out and I came up with these Wet Fajitas. 

Wet Fajitas

5 to 6 small flour tortillas

1 small round steak about 1/2 to 3/4" thick
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced in slices
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced in very thin strips
1/2 small onion, sliced in slices
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. ground pepper
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Slice round steak into very small, very thin slices. Slice bell pepper and onion into about 1" long thin slices.  In a skillet, melt 2 Tbsp. butter.  Add soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.  Toss in steak slices, bell pepper and onions.  Saute' for about 3 to 4 minutes and add in 2 cups of water.  Cover with lid and let simmer, stirring occasionally. 

If the water evaporates and the steak doesn't seem tender enough, add another cup of water and repeat process until meat is to the desired tenderness.  Remove lid.

Add thinly sliced, long strips of Roma tomatoes.  Saute' for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until tomatoes start to get tender.  This should be cooked down until it has almost a brown gravy consistency.  A little messy, but really good!

Remove from heat and ladle into heated flour tortillas.  Add generous amount of mozzarella cheese to each tortilla and fold over in half.  Serve immediately. 

It is easy to heat multiple tortillas at once in the microwave.  Layer each tortilla between a piece of paper towel.  Place in the microwave for about 25 seconds.  Check and repeat for an additional 10 seconds if not hot enough.
