Serving Scallopini Fajitas

To cook these Scallopini Fajitas use a grilling pan or a traditional outdoor grill, whichever is your preference. Serve this dish as a family-style dish that can be enjoyed as a meal. Served with rice and beans and some sliced avocado for a full meal. You can also serve these veal fajitas as a build your own taco, with tortillas and all your favorite toppings. Just make a Mexican salsa and garnish with avocado. A true taco delight with the perfect amount of melty cheese, flavorful meat, and roasted veggies!

Make sure to pat dry the veal cutlets with paper towels, especially if using thawed meat. Veal cooks very fast; try not to overcook. It is a good rule to ensure the pan or grill is warmed up and to remove the cutlets once they move freely from the hot surface. Set aside the cooked cutlets and allow the meat to rest to seal the juices.

Ingredients

For the fajitas:
4 veal cutlets (scaloppini)
1 tablespoon cooking oil (corn, vegetable, or grapeseed)
1 pinch Kosher salt
2 large red onions (or 3 small), thinly sliced
3 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and julienned
3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange), stemmed, seeded, and julienned
2 cups shredded Chihuahua cheese or Monterrey Jack

For seasoning the scaloppini:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

For serving:
8 flour tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup Mexican hot sauce
4 cups pinto beans and Mexican rice
1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

Season the veal cutlets with salt, pepper, cumin, olive oil and rub. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

Use a grilling pan, add cooking oil, and place it on the stove. Set the flame high and warm the skillet for 2-3 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium.

Grill the onions for 2-3 minutes at medium heat until slightly caramelized. Adding a pinch of salt helps the onions cook faster. Set aside.

Grill the bell peppers and the jalapeno juliennes for 3-4 minutes at medium heat. Add salt if needed. Set aside.

Grill the veal cutlets on each side for less than a minute on medium to high heat. Set aside.

Add the grilled peppers and onions to a baking sheet or an oven-friendly skillet. Add the cooked veal cutlets and top with shredded Chihuahua cheese.

Set the oven to broil at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the skillet inside the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Serve the veal fajitas with warm flour tortillas, Mexican hot salsa, beans, rice, and avocado slices.
