fajita help

[Overboard]

I'm fixing to cook some fajitas tonight; I haven't had any success with them lately as I rarely cook them. Anyone know of a good rub/recipe to use and some cooking advice.

I always cook slow and usually do briskets and steaks; but rarely have I done fajitas. probably becasue i keep screwing them up.

If you wanna go the extremely easy way, then go to HEB and buy the pre-seasoned meat. Its pretty good. Just throw em on the pit.

Either buy the pre-packaged ones from HEB or make sure you buy tenderized meat. You can also have them run it through a tenderizer at the store.

I always buy the fajita marinade that is right next to the Liquid Smoke. It's in the same kind of bottle. I put the meat in a deep pan or pot with sliced onion an bell peppers. I usually get two bottles of marinade and pour them in the pan and top it off with enough beer so the meat is submerged. I let them sit for 48 hours. When grilling I might dose them up with beer once or twice.

I also get blocks of Monterrey Jack and put really thick slices on the meat before it comes off the pit.

Go to La Michoacana mexican grocery store/meat market. There are several around town, but I usually use the one on S. Post Oak 4-5 blocks south of the south beltway...down toward Missouri City.

The beef fajita is the "fajita preparada" and the chicken in the "pechuga marinada."

Cook right on top of medium heat like you would cook a steak.

If you are not pleased, I am a monkey's uncle!!

These are the only ones I use any more...way better than the HEB marinated.

If you try it...pm me and let me know if you like them.

Make sure that you always pull the tough skin off the skirt fajita, even when tenderized, that is why alot of fajitas aren't worth eating.

I live in Santa fe- is there one of these close to me or do I need to travel? So they come pre-prepared already. I told my wife I was going to try fajitas again and she's suggesting something else. I told her not to worry.

HEB's are great just make sure you squeze some fresh lime on them before you cook them, and they will come right apart and be extreamly tender.
