Texas Fajitas

January 19, 2014 by Steph Powers 32 Comments

  Texans absolutely love fajitas. We go crazy for the sizzling spiced meat and sweet roasted veggies wrapped in a fresh tortilla. I have fond memories of sharing an order of fajitas with my dad every time we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, El Poblanito. It was a place we visited almost once a week; the owners knew us by name and knew our orders by heart.  Now that I live in ...

Chicken Coconut Curry
