Cinco De Mayo Open Faced Fajita Sandwich


After a long weekend of working at my daughters school fair and eating Cotton Candy, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and lots of popcorn . I knew that it was time to make a real meal again. So I looked in the freezer and saw a Flank steak and I got really excited. With Cinco de Mayo tomorrow I thought a Mexican dish was in order. So I have created a Fajita Open faced sandwich for you and if you like you could serve them with an appetizer of my 7 layer bean dip as an appetizer and More Thyme than Dough’s Slow baked tomatoes.

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Open Faced Fajita Sandwich Ingredients:
One 2 pound Flank steak
3 teaspoons Garlic powder
3 teaspoons pepper
3 teaspoons salt.
1 large Onion sliced in ½ " slices
1 cup frozen sliced bell peppers
2 cups steamed corn
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
Sliced Bread I used Gluten free Udi's
½ cup Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons butter.

Equipment:
Large Frying Pan or Wok
Broiler or Grill
Tongs
Spoon to stir Onions with

Heat up Broiler or Grill


Take Flank steak and wash and pat dry make sure meat is at room temp prior to cooking.
Next season with salt pepper and Garlic powder on both sides.
You can cook this on the grill or you can broil it as I have. I generally do 5 minutes per side with a 2 pound flank steak.


Next while Flank steak is cooking in a large frying pan or wok separate onions then place in pan with olive oil and sliced bell peppers.


Cook until golden



Next Toast bread either in toaster oven or Broiler or on grill then butter and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on place back in broiler, toaster oven or grill.


Serve on toast or on steamed corn. I steamed mine in microwave for 3 minutes. to the side I made it both ways you decide.


Bon Appetit
