Campfire Fajita

Fajita is a popular recipe and we are going to show you how to make it!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) boneless chicken breasts or beef steak, sliced into thin strips
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Tortillas for wrapping fajita (flour or corn)
• Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, etc.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the campfire: Build a fire and let it burn down to hot coals. You should have a good bed of hot coals for even cooking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken or beef, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the fajita meat and vegetables are well coated.
3. Take a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and place the chicken or beef, bell pepper, and onion mixture in the center. Fold the foil tightly to create a packet, ensuring there are no openings for the fajita juices to leak out.
4. Place the foil packet on the hot coals of the campfire. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken or beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Carefully flip the packet halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
5. While the fajita mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas on a grill grate or directly over the campfire flames for a few seconds on each side until they are pliable and lightly toasted.
6. Once the fajita mixture is cooked, carefully open the foil packet. Be cautious of the hot steam that may escape. Stir the contents to combine everything.
7. Serve the fajita mixture in warm tortillas and add your desired toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
8. Enjoy your delicious campfire fajitas!

Note: If you don’t have access to a campfire, you can also prepare this recipe on a grill or stovetop using a skillet or grill pan. Simply cook the fajita mixture over medium-high heat until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
