Chicken Fajitas
Fajitas! They are mouth watering! Can’t get enough of these Tex-Mex delights? Well, you don’t have to wait around for your next visit to enjoy fajitas, why not try making at home?
Restaurant quality fajitas are one of the easiest grilled meals you can make at home. All you need is a simple marinade, a few hours in the fridge to let all those flavors tenderize the skirt steak or chicken and off to the grill.
Fajitas cook up in no time, are a great go-to for a family get-together or party and are perfect served family style. Set up a taco bar, complete with different topping from salsa, sliced onions, radishes, roasted peppers, cheeses, crema or sour cream. Your guests will have a great time customizing their tacos while you man the grill. So dust off the grill and let’s get cooking.
