Air Fryer Fajitas (GF, DF)

2 · · Leave a Comment

I’m not going to lie, I was very resistant to having an air fryer. I have a small house with limited storage in the kitchen. If I add an appliance it has to be something I love and will use a lot.

My mom and several of the blogs I love had been raving about air fryers. My parents got me an air fryer for my birthday this year. Honestly I wasn’t sure what I was going to make in it, but soon found I can make a lot in about half the cooking time. I’m hooked!

Scale

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds Steak, cut into strips
1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Orange Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Yellow Bell Pepper, sliced
1 medium White Onion, sliced
1 tsp. Sea Salt
1 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp. Dried Oregano
2 Tbsp. Avocado Oil

Instructions

Slice steak, peppers and onion. Add to a large bowl. Cover mixture with spices and avocado oil. Mix thoroughly to make sure the steak, peppers and onion are evenly coated with spices and oil. 

Place mixture in the basket of your air fryer. Fry at 390 degrees for 12 minutes. At 6 minutes stir the mixture to make sure it doesn’t stick together and cooks evenly.

I serve my fajitas in a bowl with jasmine rice and guacamole. 

Notes

You could serve these fajitas in tortillas also.

I will be topping our fajita bowls with fresh tomatoes from my garden this summer. Yum!

Gluten Free Apple Sauce Waffles with Apple Topping Recipe (GF)

3 · · Leave a Comment

I love breakfast food. When I went gluten free a few years ago breakfast was the first thing I worried about. At first I thought I would be eating eggs and never again get to indulge in waffles. Thankfully, I was wrong!

These Apple Sauce Waffles with Apple Topping remind me of apple fritters. I like to cook the waffles until they have browned and are slightly crispy. This is important because if you take the waffles off the griddle too soon they will be soggy and you won’t get that delicious crispiness.

I mix up the batter for the waffles and begin cooking them first. Next, while I’m cooking waffles in the griddle I begin peeling and chopping the two apples needed for the topping.

By the time I’ve gotten the five sets of large waffles cooked the apple topping is lightly boiling on the stove to cook the apples down and brown the ghee.

I suggest serving the waffles and topping immediately while they are still hot. These apple sauce waffles and apple topping are a delicious way to start your day!

  • Yield: 4 large waffles

Ingredients

Waffles:
1 cup Almond Flour
3/4 cup Tapioca Flour
1/4 cup Coconut Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tsp. Cinnamon, ground
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup Coconut Oil, melted
1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 cup Almond Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Apple Sauce

Apple Topping:
2 Tbsp. Ghee
2 large Apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp. Honey
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon, ground
1/8 tsp. Nutmeg, ground
1/8 tsp. Sea Salt
1/3 cup Maple Syrup

Instructions

Waffles:
Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl. I like to use a hand mixer to get a nice, lump free batter. Beat on medium-high until the batter is smooth. The batter should be fairly runny.

Apple Topping:
Cook ghee, apples, sugar, honey, and spices on medium heat until the apples are tender. Add maple syrup and heat through. Serve immediately over waffles. The topping can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days and reheated if needed.

Notes

I like to make a double batch of these waffles and then store them in the fridge. I pop them in the toaster to reheat and have easy weekday breakfast.
