Using Freeze-Dried Food Storage- Easy Fajitas

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups Saratoga Farms Freeze-Dried Chicken
• 1/2 cup Saratoga Farms Freeze-Dried Onions
• 1/2 cup Saratoga Farms Freeze-Dried Green Bell Peppers
• 1/2 cup Saratoga Farms Freeze-Dried Red Bell Peppers
• 1 cup Saratoga Farms Freeze-Dried Cheddar Cheese
• Tortillas (Recipe HERE)
• Butter - 2-4 tbsp
• Seasonings:
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
• Beef (optional for a beef fajita version)

Preparation

The first step when using freeze-dried foods is to rehydrate them. This is quick and easy:

• Place the chicken, onions, and peppers in separate bowls (the onions and peppers can be in the same bowl). Add the recommended amount of water to each and let sit for 5-10 minutes. After rehydration, strain out any excess water.
• For rehydration:
  • Chicken: 3 cups hot/boiling water
  • Onion: 1/4 cup warm water
  • Bell Peppers: 2 cups warm water
  • Cheese: 2 cups warm water

While the ingredients are rehydrating, mix the seasonings in a small bowl. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the rehydrated chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with the seasoning mixture and stir to combine. Cook until the chicken and vegetables are heated through, and the longer you cook, the crispier they will get. Add more butter to taste.

Serve the fajita mixture on warmed tortillas and top with freeze-dried cheddar cheese.
