The Mexican appetizer fajitas differ from similar burritos or tacos in that all the fillings are placed separately on the table and the guest himself puts whatever he wants on the tortilla. This is a great solution if you have a house party and you don’t have much time to prepare your treats. Gather everyone at a table centered around guacamole, sour cream, grated cheese, sauces, salsa, and a large baking sheet with oven-fried bell peppers and chicken. It will take you no more than half an hour to prepare such a dish. And then to quickly finish with dirty dishes, first cover the baking sheet with foil.
