20 corn tortillas
10 flour tortillas
Peanut oil
1.5 lb skirt steak
1.5 lb chicken thighs
Lime juice
Fajita seasoning
Refried beans
4-6 Bell peppers - assorted colorsÂ
Guacamole
Jalapenos - canned, vertically sliced
Cheddar - block, medium (1 lb)
Oaxaca (1 lb)
Queso fresco (1 lb)
4 Roma tomatoes
White onion (omit if Lupita will be eating too)
Marinate skirt steak and chicken thighs (separately) in lime juice and fajita seasoning overnight
Slice or chop (as applicable)
skirt steak
chicken thighs
bell peppers
Onion (with the caveat above)
Grate
Cheddar and queso fresco together
Oaxaca by itself
Make tortilla chips
Heat peanut oil to 350 deg
Cut corn tortillas into quarters
Cook tortillas and learn from experience when you should take them off to make good chips
Spread chips on a foil lined cookie sheet
Cook steak, chicken, and peppers (possibly some onion too) on a hot griddle
While cooking, heat oven to 350 deg
Layer on top of chips
Cheddar and queso fresco blend
Refried beans
Meat and peppers mixture
Place in oven for about 10 minutes to make sure everything is good and melty with all the juices permeating the layers
While the meat, bean, cheese, and chips layering is heating, make quesadillas on the same griddle with flour tortillas and Oaxaca
When the layering is done heating, remove from oven and:
add guacamole, jalapenos, and diced tomatoes (plus onion if you want to keep Lupita from the meal)
place quesadillas on top
Enjoy your RGV botana! (Just don't call it nachos or Lupita will cut you!)
