French Beef Stew Fajitas



Who knew Fajitas were French!  But these delicious wraps have a French twist.  I prepared the Pot-au-feu first so I would have the left over roast meat.  This was shredded with a fork and reheated in a small amount of oil.  I opted for whole wheat, homemade, tortillas and a ready-made slaw with carrots, broccoli and cabbage.  A creamy sauce with crème fraiche and cornichons as a base spread and topping the fajita with a delicious spicy green sauce made for a mouthful of flavor.  I love these recipes as I’m able to tweak and make them my own.  Many times Rachel makes suggestions for alternative ingredients, which I find invaluable.  And with this recipe I made a few of my own.
So far I’ve made mostly savory dishes.  It’s time for some sweets! Any suggestions?

  2. Hi Cathy, I used Rachel's Tortilla recipe but substituted half of the AP flour with whole wheat flour. 1-2/3 c flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 3/4 cup plus 1T milk, lukewarm and 2T veg. oil.
