Fajitas

Frijoles Negros

House White Rice

Method

Fajitas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add fish or shrimp, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish or Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated fish or shrimp for about 3-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same grill or a separate pan, add a little olive oil if necessary, and sauté the bell peppers and onion until soft and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Fill each tortilla with grilled fish or shrimp and sautéed vegetables. Serve immediately.

Frijoles Negros

  1. 6

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Black Beans

    Stir in the black beans and cumin. Cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Season with salt to taste.

House White Rice

  1. 8

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
