Hungry for Mexican food but don't have the budget to go out? Mike Petrucelli from the South Bend Tribune has the solution! Five-dollar fajitas. All you need is one onion, one pepper, one clove of garlic, one pound of pork steak, a few tortillas and a few things you have lying around the kitchen and you're set to make something a restaurant will charge you $8.95 for.
First, peel the garlic and slice it thinly. Peel the onion, cut it in half from top to bottom (not crossways). Then slice the halves from top to bottom. Core and seed the pepper (green, red, yellow, it's your choice), then slice it into half-inch strips. Do the same with the meat. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high to high heat. Sauté the garlic until just beginning to brown, about 20 to 30 seconds, then add pork, onions and peppers, along with a little salt and pepper, a quarter teaspoon of dried oregano and about a teaspoon of ground cumin.
Cook until the pork is cooked through (but make sure the peppers stay brightly colored and still slightly crispy). At the last minute, add a tablespoon or two of dry sherry, white wine or even a little tequila, if you have it. Serve this immediately with warm tortillas. You can vary this easily. Use chicken or beef instead of pork. Use different spices. Don't use any meat. It'll fill you up no matter what you do. In fact, with a little rice on the side (which costs pennies!), I have fed four people. So try it. It's easy, and it's cheap.
