*Excellent !* As much as I love mangoes, I never thought of eating them with fajitas. I made just as written but for adding some thinly sliced poblano pepper to the onion packet. The onions and pepper retained some crunch and paired well with the soft, sweet mango. The steak was tender with a tart/peppery flavor. This dish is just an all round winner for ease of prep, visual appeal and taste! *SURE* to be repeated many times in my kitchen! Thanks for sharing!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
After graduating from college in spring of 2007, I am now working as a Traffic Engineer. Now that I have free time instead of homework, I've been trying all sorts of new recipes that are more involved.
I am always trying to get healthy food into my husband and 7-year old step-son. I am slowly wearing on them, both of them will finally eat vegetables with every dinner. Both of them like helping in the kitchen, especially on mini pizza nights!
We have a 4-year old male lab/golden retriever mix and when the two "boys" get going, look out!
I participated in my in-law's family Christmas party this year by bringing almond roca. It was a huge hit and everyone wants it again next get-together! I will definately bring it again, but I don't want to give the recipe out to them because it is so easy and I like them thinking I worked by butt off!!
A cooking tragedy I once had in high school: I was making some pesto for my mom and I to have with lunch. At the time, I didn't know the difference between a clove and a bulb of garlic and I ended up putting about half a bulb of garlic in the recipe then stopped because I though "two whole bulbs would be a lot"... the recipe read 2 cloves ... Needless to say, we had bad breath for days and I never forgot what a clove was!!
I haven't tried all of my posted recipes, but if I posted them I thought they sounded good and figured I should give someone else the chance to try them before I get to them.
