There's a simple process for making fajitas if you've gathered all the ingredients and are ready to put them together.To make the best fajitas, start with a soft filling on top of the tortilla to help keep the meat and veggies in place.Enjoy serving your fajitas with a side of beans and rice.
Step 1: The tortillas should be warm in the microwave for a few seconds.
Take the tortillas out of the bag and place them on a plate.It's easier to fold tortillas when they're heating them up.
Step 2: The soft filling should be spread down the middle of the tortilla.
Soft filling include things like beans or sour cream.Spread the soft filling down the middle of the tortilla with a spoon.The filling should be kept away from the edge of the tortilla.Adding the filling first will act as a glue for the other ingredients.
Step 3: Equal amounts of meat and vegetables are added to the soft filling.
Choose a meat such as beef, chicken, or seafood and slice it into bite-size pieces with a sharp knife.Add vegetables like peppers and onions to the fajita.The best flavor can be created by adding equal amounts of meat and veggies.
Step 4: It's a good idea to top your fajita off with more than one.
shredded cheese or salsa are included.You can add whichever other ingredients you want.
Step 5: It's a good idea to not overstuff the tortillas.
If you put too many ingredients in the tortilla, your fajita will be difficult to eat and won't be able to contain all of the food properly.If you want to add ingredients, make sure you fold each side of the tortilla over.
Step 6: Pull up the bottom of the tortilla to make it a barrier.
Pull the edge at the tortilla's end upwards once your fajita has all of its ingredients.As you go to eat the fajita, this will keep your topping from spilling out of the bottom.You don't have to fold the bottom of the tortilla if you want to eat your fajita completely open.
Step 7: The center of the tortilla needs to be folded over.
The 2 sides of the tortilla should overlap each other in the middle by folding the bottom in place.The edges may overlap a lot or very little depending on the number of ingredients.
Step 8: The tortilla can come undone if the fajita is flipped over.
If you have a lot of ingredients, this is helpful.Continue placing the folded edges of the fajita on the plate as you pick it up and put it back down.A toothpick can be used to keep the tortilla in place.
Step 9: Everyone is allowed to choose their ingredients.
Each person gets to make a fajita that they like.Place each ingredient in its own container and let each person start with a tortilla on their plate so that they can choose which ingredients they want to eat.Setting up all of the ingredients in a line on the counter will make it easy for everyone to make their own fajitas.
Step 10: To add flavor to the fajitas, serve a variety of sauces and topping.
It's possible to include grilled onions, bell peppers, shredded Mexican cheese, sour cream, or salsa.Adding a hot sauce or soy sauce will add even more flavor.Some people like to eat slices ofavocado, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or jalapeos on their fajitas.You can serve as many or as little as you want, though a variety of topping will make the fajitas even better.
Step 11: If you want, you can choose side dishes to eat with the fajitas.
Beans and rice are popular with fajitas.You could also serve corn on the cob.Black bean soup is a popular option.
Step 12: You can bite into the open end of the fajita.
When you are ready to eat, hold the fajita with one or two hands, using your pinkies to keep the bottom fold of the tortilla in place.Your last bite should be with the folded up end.To eat ingredients that fall onto the plate, use a fork.
