Your best fajita recipe!

I want to make a GOOD chicken or steak fajita. I have always used the fajita seasoning packets, but now want to make them from scratch. Does anyone have a good recipe?

2 Comments:

buy 2-3 lbs. skirt steak (get the butcher to split/butterfly it for you so it is very thin)

buy tortillas from the local tienda or make your own

marinade: salt, pepper (maybe some onion or garlic powder), lime juice from a lime or 2, add one can beer [whatever you like, I like Modelo Especial]

marinate meat for 4-12 hours or so.

build fire with mesquite chunks

make it very hot and place your grill very close to the fire.

oil the grill lightly

cook the steak 4 or 5 minutes a side.

let rest 4 or 5 minutes while you warm tortillas on the grill.

eat immediately with pico de gallo.

thank you for your comment, I will try it. Sounds great. :)
