Related: About this forumRestaurant-style fajitas recipe
Hubby grew up in Texas, so he had a lot of TexMex growing up, of course. Fajitas are really a restaurant style food, not something you'd see in a lot of border-town homes, and certainly not something you'd see a lot of in Mexican homes. But they are delicious and a fun way to have a few people over for dinner. We usually put the hot cast iron in the middle of the table on a trivet, and then everyone rolls their own.
This recipe is super easy to customize. We used skirt steak, but you can also use flank steak, bavette, cheek, or also chicken (dark meat works better like boneless thighs), shrimp, or if you want to cut the meat out, you can use eggplant, zucchini, or portabello mushroom caps. Likewise, if you don't like (or have access to) poblano peppers, you can use cubana, jalapeno, or just regular green, red, or yellow bell peppers.

(6,133 posts)I've had a real problem getting fresh garlic. The supermarket garlic...all of them have been a disappointment, even to the point of it even having that green sprout all ready in the middle when I got it home. I did find a small Mexican market with great garlic and peppers since.
The pan seemed over crowded. I have a 14" carbonized steel pan and use it all the time.
Thanks for this recipe.
