Fajitas are thin strips of meat cooked with thin strips of peppers and onions. The spanish word faja means strip or belt. I love anything cooked on a grill or in this case cooked with the grill’s best replacement-cast iron pan. The meat is charred and done, the veggies are cooked to tender.
In our Sauce Goddess version, we use either our Pollo Asado or Carne Asada as the meat. You can also use shrimp or slices of veggies only.
We hope you enjoy this recipe and make it often for your friends and family.
