Fajita
Recipe
A Fajita Recipe
comes in mainly two forms either beef or
chicken. Most people state that chicken
is better suited for fajitas however
history shows that the main ingredient in
the original fajitas was beef.
We will not be
talking about just how to stuff your
serving with as many ingredients as
possible, but rather we will talk about
the way the Mexican and original cowboys
of the south originally served the
Fajita.
However I want to
tell you a small story of how this food
originated and you will probably
understand immediately which one of the
two servings is the original
texas-mexican (Better known as tex-mex)
food!
So... originally
cowboys who worked in the mexican and
texas ranges were very poorly paid for
long hours of looking after the cattle of
their ranch. (no they did not spend time
running around and shooting each other
like you see on tv!).
The cowboys were
also very poorly paid and once upon a
time they demanded a rise increase! but
instead of getting paid more money (or
gold whichever was used at the time!
I'm not sure the
owners of the ranches decided that they
will give them parts of cows instead....
the cowboys not being so legal-savvy
agreed and signed the document... however
they did not read the small print stating
that it was at the owner's discretion to
decide which part of the cow they are to
receive! The owners of course decided to
start giving the cowboys parts of the
cows which actually were unsold, such as
the head and other parts which no one
wanted
But the wives of
the cowboys being more ingenious then
their husbands... decided to invent a
super new recipe using the raw food that
their husbands brought home, so they
invented the beef fajita recipe! ... so
that explains if it was originally beef
or chicken before.
Now I understand
that you will be putting pieces of good
parts of beef and not just the head and
other unsold parts... like the old
cowboys did in the good old days!
Also if you want to
know the secret to a good fajita
recipe... here it is... The more chilli
you add to your recipe the better it will
taste!!!!
Ingredients you
will need for the fajita:
water
1 1/2 c. water or
chicken broth
seasoning -
preferably chilli!
green peppers
how to cook:
slice the beef into
small stripes.
Get the water to
boil
add seasoning in
the water and some other vegetables such
as tomoatoes etc.
add the beef....
and voila wrap everything around and you
have the tastiest fajita ever!!! some
people like to add cheese to their
fajita... personally I don't like it...
but if you do... they say it tastes
great!
