    For the final day of BM#54, under One Bite Appetizers, I have a mini version of Fajitas. Well, you might question me on how these would be termed as Fajitas. I could have called them Quesadilla, somehow Fajitas stuck and I was not ready to change.

    I was remembering the mini versions that were served during Vaishali's son reception that we went a year back. The starters were so many that we simply could not even taste all that was being served. I especially loved those mini fajitas. Ok, now you know why I couldn't change the name. I was told it was a fajita and I wasn't ready to dispute that. Moreover, we had such a good time and enjoying the spread that we didn't bother much beyond clicking and eating. I searched for that picture, unfortunately couldn't get hold of that. I had clicked everything that was served as I was planning to recreate it myself.

    Fajita as the definition goes is a tortilla on which sizzling grilled meat is served with other condiments and fillings. I just took one part of it and made coin cutlets and served with roasted broccoli and cheese. The mini tortillas were fun to cook. Since these are mini, there is no serving control, though there is portion control. At a party, you won't really worry about that right. This will surely be a hit if you are planning to host a party for kids.


    I enjoyed these one-bite appetizers a lot and researched so much on different ideas. I wish I had time to make the rest as well. These are a total hit in at regular times with kids, as they seem to love anything that's bite-sized and smaller ones.

    For me, it works out best as well, as I need not make one dish so much and at the same time have a variety going on.

    Do share your ideas on bite-size snacks that will be a hit at parties.





    Mini Fajitas

    Ingredients Needed:

    For the Tortillas

    All purpose flour - 1 cup
    Cold butter - 1 tbsp
    Salt to taste

    For the grilled Corn Paneer Coin Cutlet.

    Grilled Sweet Corns - 1  cup
    Paneer - 1/2 cup
    Boiled Potato - 1/4 cup
    Bread Slices - 2 slices
    Green Chilies - 2 medium
    Red Chili flakes - 1 tsp
    Salt to taste
    Oil for cooking

    For Roasted Broccoli
    Broccoli, blanched - 3/4 cup
    Salt to taste
    Red chili flakes

    Tomato Salsa
    Mozzarella Cheese for topping

    How to make the Mini Fajitas

    For the tortillas

    Take the flour in a bowl along with salt and cold butter, rub the butter well and slowly add water to knead to a soft and stiff dough. Let it rest till you make the toppings.

    For the Grilled Corn Paneer Coin Cutlet.

    Smear oil over the corn cob and grill over flame until it browns.

    Remove the kernels and pulse it along with bread slices to a coarse paste. Make sure the corns are not completely grounded.

    Transfer to a bowl, add potato, crumbled paneer, and other ingredients. Pinch out tiny balls and flatten.

    Heat a nonstick pan with oil and pan roast the coin cutlets till done on both sides.

    For the Broccoli,

    Blanch the washed broccoli and roast it with oil and season with salt and red Chilies.

    Assembling the mini fajitas

    When you are ready to assemble, knead the dough again and dust well. roll out a huge disc and using a cutter of the size you prefer, pinch out individual tortillas.

    Heat a pan with oil and cook the mini tortillas on both sides.

    Transfer to a serving plate and spread the tomato salsa. Place pieces of roasted broccoli, coin cutlets, sprinkle some grated cheese, and serve.

    Notes:

    You could assemble everything and MW for 10 secs just before serving for the cheese to melt and the tortillas to warm up.
