Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fajita *beef skirt*
9 large yellow *valley* lemons
cracked pepper
salt
large bowl
grill

Steps:

  • 1. Wash hands and prepare a clean space/cutting board and knife for this first. Make sure to turn your grill on a head of time. Trim the fat off, leave as much or as little as you like. Cut against the grain into strips. If strips are too long, simply cut in half.
  • 2. Halve lemons, and remove seeds. In a separate large bowl, squeeze lemons and add fajitas. Add as much salt as you like, but add plenty of cracked pepper. Soak fajitas in salt, pepper, and lemon mixture for 10 minutes. After grill is hot, place fajitas. Let them cook with their natural juices, cook at desired temp. If you like them medium, cook them 5 min on each side. But preferably well done. Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Texas Fajitas:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the fajitas will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, tender meat, and high-quality spices.
  • Marinate the meat 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 crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the meat will not cook evenly and will become tough.
  • Serve the fajitas with a variety of toppings. This could include things like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Texas fajitas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make Texas fajitas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
