    Ho-made beef flavoured fajitas using the recipe below.

    What size tortillas?

    In the restaurant they offer corn or wheat, which usually appear to be about
    6" and 8" respectively. Whichever size tortillas you prefer!

    Title: Fajitas
    Categories: Beef, Mexican
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 1/2 lb Beef skirts; up to 3 lb

    MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
    1/2 c Olive oil
    1/2 md Onion; minced
    1 ts Sugar
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 sm Serranno pepper; minced
    1/2 c Red wine
    1/2 ts Paprika
    1/2 ts Pepper; freshly ground

    Lay meat on cutting board, spread it out to full length, fatty side
    up. Trim loose fat off carefully with a sharp knife, or peel off what
    is possible. Leave some fat to give fajitas more flavor. Pound meat
    with the flat side of a butcher knife or a meat mallet, tenderizing
    the meat. Fajita can be left whole and marinated or you can butterfly
    by laying out lengthwise, slicing almost through it, and spreading
    apart--making a flat piece. Pound to tenderize.

    Heat oil and saute onion, garlic, and pepper until lightly brown--add
    all other ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 to
    10 minutes. Cool and pour over 2-1/2 to 3 lb of Fajitas; marinate 3
    hours or overnight. Cook fajitas over charcoal grill, basting with
    marinade. Good served with hot chile sauce.

    I'll stick with my Fajita seasoning recipe, thanks.

    What size tortillas?

    In the restaurant they offer corn or wheat, which usually appear to be about 6" and 8" respectively. Whichever size tortillas you prefer!

    If doing ground meat corn is OK. For real meat I prefer flour tortillas.

    pan over high heat. Add the vegetables and saute for 2
    to 3 minutes. Add the reserved 1/4 cup marinade and cook
    for another minute. Season with salt and pepper. Take
    off heat and set aside. To make the sour cream, mix
    together the sour cream, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and

    To prepare the guacamole, remove the flesh from the
    avocados and immediately pour the lime juice on top to
    prevent the flesh from turning brown. Combine the rest
    of the guacamole ingredients and mash together with a
    fork. Set aside in the refrigerator. To assemble
    fajitas: Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of screaming sour
    cream over the tortilla. Add 4 to 5 thin slices of meat.
    Add a few pieces of stir-fried vegetables. Top with holy
    guacamole.

    Accordi9ng to my kid brother who learned to make them in Corpus Christi,
    they are true Tex-Mex cookery. The restaurant where he worked claimed to
    be the originator of them from the founder's push cart days before moving
    to a brick & mortar joint. He's the source of my fajita seasoning recipe.

    Well, all of the recipes i have been posting that call for "Fajitas" in
    the ingredient list are referring to a separate recipe for Beef Fajitas.

    Nice! I used to love ordering Fajita Nachos at a Mexican restaurant near
    the Greyhound station in Corvallis. Now both the restaurant and the bus station are out of service.

    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 lb Fajitas
    Tortilla chips
    1 c Refried beans
    2 c Cheddar cheese; shredded
    1 c Chile con queso
    2 Jalapeno peppers; sliced
    5 tb Guacamole
    5 tb Sour cream

    Prepare fajitas by cooking in your favorite way, then chop into small
    bite-sized pieces. Have ready tortilla chips, chile con queso,
    guacamole, and refried beans--set aside. Preheat oven to 350?F.
    Spread refried beans on each tortilla chip; place chips on an oven
    proof platter, covering completely--sprinkle cheese generously over
    beans. Place in the oven, bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese
    has melted. Remove platter from oven, spread fajita meat evenly over
