beef fajitas with dates

2020-07-11

I buy fresh dates regularly, but sometimes they sit on the kitchen counter for months. When I get tired of looking at them, I try new ways to use them in meals. This was one of my more successful kitcheneering experiments. The dates added a unique sweetness to the fajitas. Very good.

The fajitas were purchased frozen and pre-cooked, so only needed heating through.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2-3 servings:

1 lb. beef fajitas, frozen
1 lb. mixed vegetables, frozen
(Sam's Club stir-fry vegetable medley)
1-2 sweet potatoes, boiled or baked
olive oil
S&P, spices of your choice

Pic1: beef fajitas with dates, stir-fry veggies, sweet potatoes

Directions

Pic2: fresh dates
Pic3: frozen
Pic4: add chopped dates

Remove the pits from the dates and chop the dates small.
I always keep the seeds and plant them to see if I can get a date palm started. They do germinate, but I have trouble keeping them alive.
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a frying pan.
Add frozen fajitas and vegetables. Add the dates.

Pic5-7: done and served

Stir-fry until nearly done.
Add sweet potatoes and warm through.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.
