Directions
Fajitas are marinated skirt steak. This is the diaphragm muscle in the
cow. Anything else is NOT a true fajita.
Marinate skirt steak in enough salad dressing to cover meat, for a full 24
Hours, NOT LESS!
grill steak over charcoal (mesquite is best)
slice steak with the grain into thin strips
warm tortilla (works great to wrap in Saran wrap and heat in microwave)
spread some beans down center of tortilla, add some meat, top with other
condiments, roll into a tube and enjoy.
Not bad, but if you live in a part of the country where you can get "real"
Mexican food products, you can marinate the meat in something called "mojo
criollo". This comes in bottles and consists of oil, vinegar and an
assortment of other spices. It's specifically for this kind of use. It's
available in most Supermarkets around here.
Tom's recipe mentions a couple of important points:
1) Marinate the meat overnight at least. It makes a big difference. You
can also do this with skinless, boneless chicken breasts.
2) Slice the meat *after* cooking, not before. The pre-cut beef and
chicken products "for fajitas" you see some places just don't come up to
snuff.
