Appetizing Fajitas: a Classic Recipe

The dish needs not only to be cooked deliciously but also to be cut correctly. If translated literally, then fajitas mean stripes. Therefore, all components should be cut into long thin strips. The dish is fried on the grill or in a skillet with the addition of a large amount of vegetable oil. The filling can be spread directly into the tortilla and secured with a skewer. You can serve meat and vegetables on a fast basis and layout the toasted tortillas separately. An indispensable addition to fajitas is guacamole sauce.
