Fajita Panini
- 1 pound Flat Iron Steak Or Pre-prepared Fajita Meat
- 1 package Fajita Seasoning Mix, 1.4 Ounce Packet
- 2 whole Bell Peppers, Red And Yellow, Thinly Sliced
- 1 whole Sweet Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
- 8 slices Thick Sandwich Bread
- Ranch Dressing
- Chipotle Mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons Cilantro, Finely Choped
- 8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
- Begin by heating up your skillet to a medium high heat.
- A cast iron skillet and cast iron panini press worked fantastically here.
- Also heat your panini press on a separate burner to around the same heat.
- Slice your fajita meat, across the grain, into thin slices.
- You want to be able to bite through these suckers whilst theyre in your sandwich.
- Also, cut the onion and peppers into thin slices.
- These should sautee nicely after the meat has finished cooking.
- Prepare 8 slices of bread putting butter on what would be the outside of your sandwhich like a grilled cheese.
- On opposite side of each slice of bread, apply a mix of equal parts of ranch dressing and chipotle mayo (use as much as you want), adding in some finely chopped cilantro.
- I used Lemonaise Chipotle Mayo in this mix, it is perticularly warm.
- Saute meat in skillet.
- Prepare slightly underdone, since the heat of the panini press will finish the cooking process, and you wouldnt want chewy meat.
- Add in fajita mix, combine thoroughly and set aside.
- When meat is set aside, dump the veggies into your skillet and saute them.
- It will be yummy when they incorporate the meat drippings.
- When they are almost done (slightly translucent), add meat back in and mix together well.
- Settle a nice bed of meat and veggies on top of the bread spread with the ranch chipotle sauce, add a slice or two of pepper jack cheese.
- Flip over extra slice of bread to complete sandwich (butter side out).
- Drop nicely into heated iron skillet and top with hot panini press.
- Heat through until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve!
