Cooking in Poverty, Volume Eight (FIXED PICTURES)
Hey, guys. Today was a Very Bad Day. I had a lot to do, and my bank account was drained by rent and bills.
BAD.
My car was hit in a parking lot. Minor damage, but still...
BAD.
I bought a McNotBlizzard...
GOOD. But so so bad.
You know what made it better? Spicy Chicken Fajitas.
So, our principle players this evening are simple:
For two people, we need the tits of one chicken (aka 2 chicken breasts), a big ol' onion, a big ol' bell pepper (my local store had green. Or green.), some cheese, some tortillas, a cutting board, a pan, and a little teensy bit of butter. Oh, and spices: WE NEED THEM. Use your favorite.
So get a tablespoon of delicious, fattening, delicious butter (or blandish butter substitute) in a medium-high pan.
Chop up an onion, and throw it in thurr.
Chop up a bell pepper...
and throw it in thurr. Honestly, I left in a few seeds. SPICY.
Now, go to your chicken. Go to it!
Put it in a plastic bag...
Get a canned good...
And smash it until it cries for mercy.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Then, cut it into delicious, bite-sized pieces, and season them. I used some spicy grill seasoning and hot sauce. Because these are my spicy fajitas.
And throw them in thurr. Try not to eat your delicious caramelized onions. I failed on a couple of occasions.
Now, get your tor-till-uhs, and put them in a microwave, for, say,
Twenty seconds? Yeah, that'll do.
They look so innocent and pure! Prepare to taint them, kiddos.
I mean, look at that. It's positively sinful and healthy. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?
Oh, phew. Microwaved rice. I was worried I might try to make some fresh rice for a second, there.
Add some spicy paprika to your spicy chicken-and-veggie mixture... Believe me.
Hello, pure tortillas!
Oh, and GOODBYE. Damn.
Add some rice...
And some cheese. Contemplate how unpure and sinful your tortillas are, now. It's kinda like Sandra Lee at the end of Grease, isn't it?
Roll them up, and enjoy.:)
But you know the BEST thing? This was made for two. You could easily double it. And it only cost me about $3.50 a person to make. Really.
BAD.
