HOUSE SPECIAL FAJITAS!! MAKING MEAL PREP WORK!!

Let's take the remaining grilled meat meal prep that we shared in last week's video and make something delicious! We have had shrimp salad, philly cheese steak melts, pork fried rice and chicken quesadillas this week using that prep, and now we have just a bit of everything leftover. Let's mash this all up and make some house special fajitas! Easy to make, easy to serve and easy to eat! Everyone is going to love this one!

I am calling this "House Special" fajitas because I am inspired by the house special items you can get when ordering from a Chinese restaurant. You know when you can ask for house special lo mein, chow mein or fried rice? Basically it means give me those noodles or rice with the works. Pork, beef chicken and shrimp. All mixed up with delicious fresh veggies and spices. So instead of going the Chinese route, which you could easily do with this mixture, we are going the Mexican inspired route!

If you love fajitas you are going to love this. Very similar to what you would get if you ordered fajitas "texanas" in the Mexican restaurant. Meaning you would have steak, chicken and shrimp. We have just a little piece of pork chop in there too, but it's all good!

I first sauteed up one red bell pepper, one green bell pepper and one medium sweet onion with some garlic in about a tablespoon of vegetable oil, just until the onion began to caramelize. Then I added in the leftover grilled meats that had been sliced thinly as well as the seasoned, cooked shrimp. Gave this all a good toss to distribute and added a couple tablespoons of my homemade taco seasoning. This is optional but helps to give you a cohesive flavor profile to your dish. Next I tossed in some fresh tomato wedges and allowed this to cook just until the meat was warmed through. No need to cook this to death. You want your veggies just tender crisp and the protein warmed. Then it's time to build some fajitas.

These can be served as a burrito filling, a taco filling or as fajitas, traditionally with warmed flour or corn tortillas and add ins like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado or guacamole, salsa, you know the drill. They are delicious, satisfying and help you use up what you already have on hand.

Even if you don't do the meal prep but have leftover steak, chicken or shrimp, consider turning them into these quick, leftover makeover fajitas the next time you are stumped as to what do make out of what you already have.

Fajitas are just one of the things you can make out of this jumble of scraps. You could also use this lot to make your own house special lo mein, chow mein, fried rice, egg foo yung or how about a delicious Italian style omelette? Add those items into your egg mixture, cook up, add mozzarella cheese, fold over and top with past sauce and parm. Serve with garlic bread instead of toast and boom! Mind blowing dinner or breakfast or brunch for that matter. This meat could be turned into a frittata, a pizza or a hot pot or ramen filler. All you have to do is think outside the box and you are going to make your family and yourself very happy!

So use what you have. Think about what you love and turn those leftovers into something amazing! I hope you give these house special fajitas a try sometime soon and I hope you love them!

Happy eating!
