I love Mexican food.  Although rice, garlic, ginger and soy sauce are great – witness my cooking so far - tortillas, beans, avocados and mole could possibly be superior.  I still have fond memories of going out to eat with my dad, and eating burritos bigger than my head. And no, it’s not just that I have a small head!

It’s often hard to make Mexican food for one.  If I have a craving, I usually head to the local taqueria.  And given that it’s my usual food of choice for late nights, I usually swing by an eatery once every 1-2 weeks.  Fajitas, however, are a straightforward and quick dish, provided you buy the correct vegetables, have a lemon/ lime, and have cumin.  Some purists would have you marinate the meats overnight.  I haven’t found that to be a huge deal, but it does taste moderately better if you have the time.

You can also make this dish with beef rather than chicken – almost everyone loves carne asada.
