On Saturday night, one of
my class mates from Mexico,
named Gregorio, cooked some Fajitas for me and a Brazilian named Thiago. They
were delicious (Jeremy: I'll include the recipe at the bottom). The next Saturday, I tried to return the
favor by cooking some Spaghetti. I
invited all 9 of the guys from my class (we are the one lucky sub-segment to
have no ladies). I cooked enough to feed
15 guys and had some leftovers. I made a
big mistake though. When Gregorio cooked
his Fajitas he used a red spicy pepper as a substitute for a Jalapeno and I
thought he used two (but actually, he used only one); so I figured I could use
three for my Spaghetti... BIG
MISTAKE! It was soooo Hot!! Thankfully though, I had a Mexican, two
Indians, a Nigerian, and a Pakistani who gobbled it down without breaking a
sweat. (Furthermore, at least my Salad
was good)
Recipe for Authentic Mexican Fajitas:
Salsa (Pico de Gallo):
Chopped Onions and Tomatoes (~ 1:2 ratio)
-I would recommend about 3 onions and 8 tomatoes
Jalapeno (depending on how hot you want it)
Lime Juice and Salt and Chopped garlic
Marinade for Steak and chicken:
Salt, Lime juice, and Garlic
-Use a cheese grater on the garlic instead of chopping
-Cut your meat into strips and dip into the marinade and let sit (maybe over night)
-Fry each piece individually in vegetable oil and after finished put cheese on top
Masa Wraps (we messed this part up so just try your best)
Salt, Flour, and Water (but I am missing an ingredient and will tell later)
-Make into a dough for tortillas
Any where it a Lime is used you can substitute an orange or lemon as well for a different taste.
