Seafood Fajitas
These “open-faced” fajitas present the wealth of the sea with a southwestern kick. Each arrives at the table with a tortilla along with rice, beans, and seafood, and its perfectly possible to fill the tortilla — but more likely the diners will enjoy each part of the dinner separately.

Instructions
Heat the oil in a skillet. Place all the seafood except the cooked crawfish in the skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon until browned. Add the cooked crawfish and mushrooms and heat through.
In a separate skillet, combine the oil, peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Combine with the seafood and season to taste with seafood spice blend, salt, and pepper.
Combine the rice with the corn, tomatoes, and green onions and heat together briefly.
Heat the brown gravy and pour onto a plate. Place the cooked seafood over the gravy. Serve with the rice, beans, and a rolled warm flour tortilla. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
