Fajitas and Flat Bread

 Early in the week I took out a flat iron steak to make fajitas and then I remembered oh no I didn't have any flour tortilla shells for Larry. Not wanting to drive to the store I decided to make flat bread.

  Watched a couple videos and Wow so easy, found one using just flour and water. (sorry I forgot to bookmark the one I used) I have a bag of King Arthur's white whole wheat which is a more nutritious flour than their unbleached-that worked out really nice and Larry loved them I started with around 3/4 cup of the flour and added water as needed to make a dough-knead for a few minutes to bring out the gluten.  This dough divided into 5 balls-roll very thin-heat on cast iron til just browned on both sides. These stayed very flexible for rolling up-which Larry likes to do.

  I will make these again for him-no salt added and better than store bought, and he loved them

I may have shared this already but flat iron steak works out nice for fajitas. I cut very thin slices across the grain of the meat, toss with adobo spice, let marinate a couple hours. Fry in a very hot cast iron pan with a little oil til just brown, in small batches-set aside. I also first saute sweet onions, sweet peppers, poblano peppers if I have them, and fresh mushrooms. toss together-and then I add a drained medium hot diced peppers and chilis-and dinner is served sorry I didn't take allot of photos.

oh and for gluten free for me I like the corn tostados which I usually keep on hand, or I like this served over a sprouted brown rice too.

   These flat breads were so easy-and fun to make don't know why I had not tried this before.

Cast Iron Saturdays- Labor Day Weekend

 Here in the States, this coming weekend is Labor Day weekend. The last weekend of the summer fun. 

    Back when I was a kid going to school-we did not start school til after Labor Day Weekend-now school starts mid August, which in my opinion takes away a couple weeks of summer fun.

  So for my cast iron recipe share this week, I looked for grilled recipes or cast iron. There are many ways to make burgers and brats-thought I would share a couple fajita recipes.

 This first site I found is Labor Day Grilling Recipes  several good sounding recipes

        Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas this takes you to the recipe but it also links you to another site with more information about the recipe

 This site shared a link to Grilled Vegetables on skewers These are done right on the grill, indoors you could do in your cast iron skillet too

Another Grilled recipe that can also be done in cast iron-

     Grilled Flatbread with prosciutto, charred tomatoes, fresh mozarella  this was a nice link as it explains everything and different methods to make it

 I found another fajita recipe using shrimp and chicken-in cast iron  we love fajitas and easy to make for allot of people

Sometimes I like the fajitas over rice instead of in a tortilla  Here is a recipe for making rice in your dutch oven

To close I found this site with many mouth watering looking recipes-allot of veggie sides too  If you only open up one link I would suggest this one-everything looked so delicious
