Anyone a fan of Fajitas

[RizzoTheRat]

Sounds like the OP's spice mix is similar to mine

1 tsp chilli powder
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or pinch of cayenne)


As others have said home made salsa is great too.

I was passed on a good tip for toasting the tortillas and have used it ever since...

put the biggest gas ring on a t full blast, drop tortilla on top for around 5-10 seconds, turn with tongs and repeat on other side, remove to tin foil to keep warm. Gives them a lovely slightly charred taste.

I was doing a search if Fajita seasoning had cropped up on PH, after having a few goes myself (happy so far, but seeing what other have done), and no surprise, it had

How long do people marinate their meat before cooking?

Yeap, i'm rather partial too. Prefer a plain Chicken Fajita with a nice dash of that spicy garnish!

Love fajitas, usually have a bi-weekly fajita night at my place. Usually i cook 'tangy chicken fajitas' since the mrs likes those. Chicken breast or drumstick meat (drumstick i find is better, less dry) marinated mostly in lemon and lime juice with a bit of chilli powder, pepper flakes, and jalapeno vinegar. I usually cook the vegetables and meat in the same pan (meat going in first) to get the marinade into the vegetables a bit (vegetables being just bell peppers and onions).

Recipe can be converted to a kind-of quesidilla by lobbing few handfuls of grated cheese inside the wrap and then warming (at low temperature!) on a pan.

I've done a couple of hours before and it seems ok, assuming you've already chopped the meat into smaller pieces.

Add a few BBQ'd chicken livers to the mix, delicious contrast in flavours and textures.

Refried beans Reheated in a pan for half an hour with the juice of a lime and a large bunch of corriander.
