I had a hankering for fajitas so I got some grass-fed flank steak at Dittmer's. It wasn't cheap, but I'm not too concerned about that. The cow wasn't completely grass-fed and was finished with a little bit of corn, but I guess that's ok. It came from the Midwest too, but I've had trouble finding local meat.I cut the steak into thin strips and marinated them in cumin, olive oil, Insanity Sauce, tabasco sauce, salt and mesquite flavoring. I browned it up with some organic red pepper and yellow onion. I have to say that the grass-fed meat tastes different than corn-fed. I don't know if it's better, but it's definitely different.
The whole wheat tortillas were pretty easy to make. I put whole wheat flour, salt, oil and water into my food processor and let it rest for a few hours wrapped in parchment paper. I divided the dough into six parts and then rolled out the tortillas, frying them one at a time. As you can see, they actually look like tortillas, but they were a little denser than expected.
I used jalapeno jack-flavored almond cheese to add some more flavor to the fajitas. They weren't too bad, but I think I need some sour cream or guacamole to cut the dryness of the tortillas. Neither of those fits in my no-processed rules, but I think I can bend them a little in order to pimp my meal.
