So I thought of something that would make a great freezer dinner. I have been craving these fajitas for sometime now. When Trent and I were doing the South Beach we would have these at least once a week with no tortilla and just fresh tomatoes, black beans, and sour cream. But they are even better in tortillas and they seriously taste like the fajitas we got in Cancun. They are to die for and I thought what a good thing to freeze, you would just do the meat portion in the sauce and marinate in the freezer, when you are ready to make that for dinner, thaw it out, cook, and just add the veggies. Does that make sense? Anyways, I wanted to give you all the recipe.
Soy Lime Fajitas
(remember if you want to freeze this, just double the recipe and separate into two freezer bags, the meat and sauce portion only.)
1.5-2lbs skirt steak or other beef or chicken cut into strips
1 med onion, sliced
2 large different colors large bell peppers, sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp. chili powder
2 Tablespoons Oil
Combine soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, and oil. Slice meat and place meat and sauce in large bag and let marinate for 2 hours in fridge. If freezing, just freeze from this point.
If frozen, let thaw, it will continue to marinate. Add some oil to your pan and let it get hot. Add meat and when browned, remove meat and add veggies, cook until softened. Then add meat back and heat through.
Serve with salsa, sour cream, black beans, and guacamole.

That sounds yummy! My book club and I did freezer meals instead of reading a book last month. We all just made 6 meals, froze them, and brought them to book club and exchanged them. It was awesome because we only had to make one meal (6 batches) and then we came home with 6 different meals. If anyone would want to do this on a regular basis, I would be so in! It is going to be so nice to have meals on hand after I have this baby.
Thanks for sharing! I'm excited to try it. You'll have to keep sharing recipes. :)
That is such a great idea!!! I'll definitely have to try it. And the recipe sounds soooo yummy!
Yum those sound so delicious and easy! hmm I could definetly make those! we'll have to get together and do all our meals that would be awesome. yay! no cooking!
Sounds like this place I went to called "Entrees Made Easy" -- it was totally fun to make all the different dinners, and such a relief to have a meal ready, lickety-split! It will be WAY cheaper for you to make it all at home!
cool I wanna do it!
