1 pound beef skirt (flank steak) or chicken breast, sliced into 1/4 x 3-inch long strips
Ingredients:
- 1 large whole onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup olive oil or chili oil
Preparation:
Heat a large skillet and add olive oil. Add marinated meat and onion and sauté until onion becomes translucent. Place cooked meat in a large bowl or platter and serve with tortillas, toppings and garnishes.
For each fajita, fill a tortilla with meat and desired amounts of garnishes and toppings and roll up like a burrito. Serve with refried beans, black beans or Spanish rice.
Variations Ingredients:
For spicier marinade, add cayenne pepper or crushed dry red chili pepper. Instead of lime juice, try pineapple juice, papaya juice, beer, wine or barbecue sauce.
