Fajitas are well-known for their delicious taste and for the fact that they do not require a long preparation time. This is why many people choose them as a first dish when they want to cook something quick but tasty. However, there are also a few secrets which can make your fajita even tastier and juicier.

The best way to prepare fajitas is to use a marinade. It will give your meat additional flavor. You can make the marinade from various ingredients, such as salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, lime juice or tequila.

Once you have prepared your meat and veggies you should cut them into strips so that the fajitas will be easier to roll. Next thing you should do is heat some oil in the pan and add some of the marinade. You can add bell peppers in order to make your dish look more colorful and appetizing. When everything is browned, add some salsa or any other sauce you like and then add onions and tomatoes. For an additional kick you can also add some jalapenos slices.

After you have added all of the ingredients, cover the pan with its lid and let the food simmer until it becomes tender enough.*

1. Chop the onions and bell pepper into long strips, about a quarter inch wide. Halve the jalapenos, remove the seeds and inner membrane, and chop into small pieces.

2. Heat a little oil in a pan (I used olive oil) over a medium-high flame. Add the onions, pepper, and jalapenos and cook until tender (about 5 minutes).

3. While the veggies are cooking, combine the cumin powder, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

4. When the veggies are done add the fajita seasoning mix to them and mix well. Cook for 3 more minutes then turn off heat.

5. Cut up your chicken into thin strips. I like to leave mine with some fat on it for flavor but that’s optional for you!

To make fajitas: If using chicken, marinate the chicken pieces 20 minutes in the refrigerator with 1 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and then drain excess liquid from the chicken pieces before cooking on the stovetop or grill. If using beef or shrimp, do not marinate them first as it will make them tough. Make sure your meat is properly cooked before putting it into your tortillas and serving it to your guests.
