Nelly Bo requested Fajitas for dinner as an alternative to the regular Taco Friday menu (anyone who can identify with the Taco Friday routine???). Both Jay and I got pleased as Fajitas is a bit more fun in our opinion. Especially with homemade tortillas.
Emmy Bo who is the most dedicated Little Cook in the house and she immediately came to assist Big Cook Jay making the dough, cutting and weighing it into equal pieces and rolling the dough into balls. Later Nelly Bo came to join in as she really wanted to learn how to flip tortillas in the air. And she did. Most successfully she did.
Its a blast to see them all cook together, my Big Cook with the Little Cooks. My kitchen may not be the most sexy one to share and I often avoid sharing it with you as it is my least loved place in the house, but this time I couldn't resist taking some snap shots to share. Unfortunately the light is terrible but I hope you will get the feel.
That night we enjoyed the most tender and tasty tortillas with our Fajitas. It was different. It was something new in the old. It makes me want to cook more together and make more authentic dinners. It isn't that hard really, only a bit more time consuming. But as we said during dinner - it was worth it as we had a really good time! Find the Tortilla recipe below.
