First off, I apologize for the lack of printable recipes and nutrition information. The program I use to generate those is on my laptop, which is currently not my friend. Will get that fixed soon though!
Simply in Season provides two versions of fajitas, and I chose the cilantro spice paste version. Want the other one? Go buy the book 😉
Spice Paste:
- 1 C finely chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 T soy sauce
- 1 T oil
- 1 T chili powder
- 1 T ground cumin
- juice of one lime
Mix all together and coat 1 lb of chicken strips or beef strips. Let stand for 15 minutes while you chop about 4 C of vegetables. These can be
- Sweet peppers
- Hot peppers
- Onions
- Summer squash
- Carrots
- etc.
Toss the vegetables with ground red and black pepper to taste.
Stir fry the chicken and set aside.
Stir fry the vegetables and add the chicken back in.
Serve with fajita fixins’ (you know the drill–salsa, sour cream, tortillas.) For Wheatless Wednesday you can skip the shell and eat on a bed of lettuce.
The Verdict: This is one of those recipes that makes portion control really, really hard. Yeah, it’s that good. The fresh cilantro was heavenly and perfectly accented the chopped fresh picked heirloom tomatoes.

I love reading your blog. It always makes me want to get into the kitchen. I was wondering if you could tell me what the computer program you use to produce the nutrition info for your recipes is. I would love to be able to use one of those. Thanks! Hope your laptop gets working soon, I know how hard that can be.
