FABULOUS FAJITAS
This recipe is based on wonderful fajitas served at a small authentic Tex-Mex restaurant near where I used to live. I have used this with both chicken and steak, flank steak or skirt steak, and it works great. I also mix a batch of the dry spices together and use a tablespoon or so when I make fajitas. The red onions, while not traditional, add a nice color to the fajitaas, but sweet yellow onions are more traditional. Note that the preparation time listed includes time to marinate.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your fajitas.
- Marinate the chicken or steak for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the meat over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you do, the meat will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fajitas immediately: This is when they are at their best.

Fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your fajitas are perfect every time.
