MAGIC CHICKEN, BEEF OR SHRIMP FAJITAS

My husband's recipe for fajitas, based on a recipe found in a Mexican cookbook by Jane Milton and his own experimentation. The inclusion of cinnamon is what to me gives these fajitas such a great flavor! Serve with your favorite accompaniments along with rice and beans and a strong margarita!

Steps:

  • Cut meat in strips (against the grain) and place in medium sized freezer bag.
  • Drizzle enough oil over the meat to coat and shake bag.
  • Add all all seasonings to bag, shake to coat meat.
  • Add enough lime juice to coat meat, plus dash of tequila.
  • Marinade (ideal time for steak or chicken-- 1 1/2 -2 hours, shrimp-- no more than 30 minutes).
  • Heat cast iron skillet on medium-high until smoking, add approximately 1/4 of the meat plus onion and peppers and sear for approximately 3-5 minutes. If cooking just chicken or shrimp, you may need to add a small amount of oil (1 tsp). Do not overcrowd the skillet or you will not achieve a good sear.
  • Continue cooking the rest of the fajitas in small batches. Serve with tortillas and accompaniments.
