I've been a fan of fajitas for some time now & have developed my own unique fajita style. If you're looking for something spicy & fun to eat, give these a try.
Ingredients - Serves 2-3 |
The Meat | |
Steak |
1
lb
|
Chicken Breast |
1
lb
|
Cajun Spice |
I like to combine both steak & chicken when making fajitas but pure chicken or pure steak fajitas are just as good. It usually depends on what I have in the fridge.
The Sauce | |
Onions |
2-3
Large
|
Peppers - Any Color |
2
|
Hot Peppers - Jalapenos, Cherry, Cayenne etc. |
2-4
|
Tomato |
1
|
Garlic |
4-5
cloves
|
Beer |
6
oz
|
Cajun Spice |
1-2
teaspoons
|
Garlic Powder |
1
teaspoons
|
Chili Power |
1
teaspoon

The sauce is perhaps the most important part of this recipe but also the most flexible. The amount of hot stuff & spice you add is a matter of taste. I like my fajitas to be just hot enough to make my eyebrows sweat but not so hot its inedible.
The Other Stuff | |
Flour Tortillas | |
Sour Cream | |
Tomato |
1
|
Lettuce | |
Grated Cheese - Mexican Mix | |
Lemon or Lime |
1
|
While the sauce is simmering you can prepare the other stuff.
Fajitas are generally eaten by rolling the meat/sauce, sour cream, tomato, lettuce & a squirt of lemon in a tortilla & eating by hand.
The pictured fajitas substituted salsa for lettuce but only because we didn't have all the ingredients that day & we had some salsa left over from another meal. I've never been able to produce exactly the same tasting fajitas twice but that is part of the fun. Adding spice & hot peppers isn't an exact science for me. Most of the time I just 'eyeball it'. Each time it turns out a little different which keeps the dish interesting.
