We love having Ryan make his famous fajita's for Family Gatherings

 

 

Ryan loves cooking for us

Snowstorm after snowstorm it's good to finally get together .

 

It's Lia and Will's Bday I'm making Nonna's Never Fail Chocolate Cake

while Ryan slices the peppers and onions. 

 

Ryan uses 1 green pepper, 1 orange pepper, 1 red pepper

 

and  2 medium Bermuda onions

 

 

while the peppers and onions are sautéing 

 

 

Ryan makes Guacamole mashing avocadoes

 

Adding finely diced Bermuda onion

 

diced tomato and a squeeze of lime

 

Ryan marinated the steaks and chicken at home

 

he brought his favorite grilling pan - look at the pretty grill lines he gets with his pan

 

It does take two people to operate the grill pan at least that's what Ryan said

I think he just wanted company in the kitchen

 

the fajitas are almost done the chicken is sizzling while the steak rests

 

Ryan cooked the steak perfectly,

the real fun begins - put a tortilla on a plate, add chicken/steak,

 

 

guacamole, sour cream, grated monterey cheese

 

perfectly sautéed peppers & onion,

 

 

roll and enjoy!!

Guacamole

4 avocadoes

1 tomato, diced

½ cup onion, dices

2 cloves garlic, crushed

¼ cup red pepper diced

2 limes juiced

 

DirectionsMash avocadoes, mix in the rest of the ingredients into mashed avocado. 

 

Guacamole turns an icky brown if left out in the open air if you make it ahead of time take plastic wrap and press it completely over the guacamole.  If there is any air pockets you will have brown spots.  Scoop the brown off and serve.
