Ponzu Fajita Tacos

In Texas? Yes. Texas truly is a Multicultural State. Best known for chicken fried steak and Tex-Mex there is much more spice to this state. Whether it be West Texas, East Texas or South Texas early immigrants found their way to Texas and we have been licking our fingers ever since.
In my kitchen we enjoy taking these dishes and giving them a Mexican or Tex-mex twist. Our goulash’s tomato sauce if often infused with chile guajillo or our Pho broth will be tomatillo based.
Flavoring our life with the tastes of the world, lucky us.
Today I want to take my beloved Texas fajitas and “kikk up their flavor” with Kikkonman Ponzu sauce. A grilling must have South-of-the-border vaqueros have been serving up fajitas for generations. Marinades are often made from citrus, cola or chile to flavor and tenderize the meat, but today we take a tasty shortcut using Ponzu sauce.
Ponzu sauce, minced garlic flavors our fajitas. Grilled and served with a warm tortilla stuffed with carrots and jicama this meal will satisfy any vaquero, big or small.

What a delicious sounding sauce. I’ll have to buy some and try it.
How lucky you are to be surrounded by tastes of the world! This is beautiful combination!
I’ve never tried this sauce before but it sounds really good. Will have to be on lookout for it. Also love the jicama in there, haven’t had that in forever!
Those must be very tasty!
